Facebook and Instagram have added music functionality to the social media platforms for users in Brazil.

Facebook has now established a partnership with the music industry in 40 countries.

Users in Brazil can now include music in the videos they share on Facebook and Instagram. They will also be able to access music features for Facebook and Instagram Stories and Lip Sync Live on Facebook. 

"We've been working with the music community around the world to take music into Instagram and Facebook,” said Alvaro de Torres, who leads LATAM Music Publishing Business development at Facebook. “In addition to the available licenses from international labels, we have partnered with local labels, music publishers and collecting societies to ensure that the songs people love the most in Brazil could now be added to their photos and videos, through a vast catalogue of millions of national and international songs.”
