Founded by musicologist, composer and oboist John Walker, and several others, in 2013, the mission of Cayambis Music Press is to provide musicians with the finest quality music from Latin America published to the highest standards. In addition, a core value of our company is to encourage and promote the performance of this music and to make available essential resources in support of our overall corporate mission.

There are a number of ways in which we seek to accomplish this mission, including, but not limited to the following:

• We rely on an independent editorial committee to evaluate the scores and manuscripts that we receive from composers. (To date, fewer than one third of these submissions have been approved for publication).
• Approved scores are then meticulously prepared and reviewed multiple times by both our staff and the composer prior to publication.
• We establish personal contact with composers throughout the Americas either through travel or by virtual means.
• With our “Artist Program,” we develop relationships with recognized artists and ensembles to promote the performance of Latin American music.
• We maintain a profile page for each Latin American country that includes vital resources and links to important individuals and institutions.
