Gummybear International Announces Major Licensing Agreement with Brazilian Record Label Som Livre

Som Livre, the largest Brazilian Independent Record Label, and Gummybear International have joined forces to launch the Gummibär character and brand in Brazil

Teaneck, NJ (PRWEB) August 24, 2012

Gummibär, the animated singing and dancing gummy bear character YouTube sensation, will soon gain many more fans in Brazil thanks to the new partnership between Gummybear International and Som Livre. The Brazilian record company belongs to the conglomerate Grupo Globo De Comunicações (TV Globo), and is responsible for bringing diverse genres such as funk and metal to the forefront of the Brazilian music scene. Thanks to this licensing deal, Gummibär will now join Som Livre’s long list of hit artists which also includes local superstars like Michel Telo and Gustavo Lima.

The licensing deal includes special Brazilian Portuguese versions of Gummibär’s music hits and video products including a brand-new Gummibär Christmas TV Special as well as exclusive merchandising rights in the market.

The first Gummibär videos were posted in 2006 and since then the character has grown to be immensely popular around the world. The official YouTube channel for Gummibär today has over 1.5 billion documented views and continues to average about 2 million views every day. The Gummibär YouTube channel also ranks as the 27th most viewed musician of all-time and is the 67th most viewed channel of all-time.

The success of the Gummibär brand extends outside of YouTube too. The character’s songs have been released in over 40 different countries and in over 27 different languages. Gummibär has received Sales Certification Awards in over 8 countries, including one for going 96 times Platinum on Universal Records in Greece with its premier album “I Am A Gummybear,” despite the country’s adverse economic conditions. The musical success of Gummibär has also lead to extensive merchandising lines throughout the world, including very popular ones in Greece, Poland and France.
