SACM
Sociedad de Autores y Compositores de México
The performance & mechanical responsible for collecting royalties in Mexico.
About SACM
SACM is Mexico's collective management organization for songwriters and composers. Mexico is the second-largest music market in Latin America (after Brazil) and one of the most culturally influential music markets globally.
Mexican music — from regional Mexican genres (banda, norteño, corridos) to pop, rock, and reggaeton — has massive domestic and international audiences. The explosion of corridos tumbados and regional Mexican streaming has made SACM increasingly important.
SACM collects performance royalties from Mexican broadcasters, streaming services, live venues, and businesses. It has reciprocal agreements with collection societies worldwide.
How SACM works
Mexican Market Coverage
SACM licenses public performances of music across Mexico — the second-largest Latin American market.
Regional Mexican Boom
The global explosion of regional Mexican music has increased royalty generation and SACM's international significance.
Distribution
SACM distributes royalties to members and routes international royalties through reciprocal agreements.
Why SACM matters for songwriters
Mexico is served by SACM for performance & mechanical royalties. Without direct registration, international songwriters rely on reciprocal agreements — which typically add 12–24 months of delay before royalties reach you.
