Promotores Latinos is one of Puerto Ricos top talent agencies, show producers and entertainment representants.
Set up in the middle 1980s by famous actor, show host, comedian and producer Rafo Muniz, who is the son of Puerto Rican acting, comedy and show host legend Tommy Muniz, Promotores Latinos began producing television and concert shows almost immediately. Most of its television shows went to WAPA-TV.
In 1989, Promotores Latinos hired former MenudoXavier Serbia to host a television show named Control Remoto. MTV soon filed a lawsuit against both WAPA-TV and Promotores Latinos, citing that the likeness and name of their own show, Remote Control, was being used without proper consent. The show was promptly cancelled, and the lawsuit dropped.
In 2002, international singer Olga Tanon, a very important figure in the world of Latin Americanmusic, left the company, but her absence was somewhat filled immediately with the signing of rising singer, Melina León and TV personality, Silverio Pérez.
Promotores Latinos has represented a very large number of well known entertainers in Puerto Rico, both local and international.

Promotores de Salud is a program designed to ensure that Latino women in Columbus and Franklin County, Ohio, have access to quality prenatal care, infant care, and supportive services.
It is run by the Ohio Hispanic Coalition, a private, nonprofit, Latino community-based organization founded in 1990 in response to an influx of Latinos in central Ohio.
In 1998, over 6 percent of the Latinos received their first prenatal care visit at the Columbus Health Department’s clinics after the 27th week of pregnancy, and 58 percent arrived in the second trimester.
