Som Livre (Portuguese for "Free Sound") is a Brazilian record company that was founded in March 1969 in order to commercialize the soundtracks for Rede Globo (its then parent company) soap operas.[1] It later expanded to recording studio albums.
Today, Som Livre is Brazil's largest domestic label and was formerly part of Grupo Globo, which is the biggest media conglomerate in Brazil.[2] In November 2020, Globo placed the label up for sale.[3] In April 2021, it was acquired by Sony Music Entertainment for an undisclosed amount.[4] The sale was approved by the national competition regulator Cade on 4 November 2021[5] and was completed on 4 March 2022.
