MIAMI – Here in South Florida, Latin music is an important part of the culture and economy, and Miami serves as the hub for Latin music worldwide.

Spanish singer-songwriter Shaila Dúrcal is a rising star who showed U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (TX-21) how to record a hit song at The Hit Factory Criteria on Monday, Nov. 28.

The lawmakers are working on bipartisan bills that aim to protect people all over the country who develop music, film, software, books, and other forms of intellectual property, from having their creative ventures illegally copied or stolen and used for other unintended purposes.

The lawmakers discussed the legislation as they toured The Hit Factory Criteria and learned first-hand all that goes into producing a hit record as they recorded a public service announcement live in the studio.
