Victor Cortez.

Owner of Estudio del Manana, the studio where De la Luz used to record her records. He remembers her under her previous name. Nice girl, He hasn't seen her in a while, apparently Brooks is keeping her isolated.

Has been hiding there since Jorge Novo got killed in the fire at Novo records (where de records were pressed). according to Cortez, Novo didn't want to have anything to do with Brooks anymore, calling the recording "unwholesome and evil"
Jonathan Brooks approached Cortez about recording records featuring his wife, Leticia de la Luz, in late 1933. They produced their first record in the spring of 1934.

A couple weeks ago, some men working for Brooks approached Cortez and asked him–forcefully–to help them convince Novo to get back to work. Cortez told them he didn’t think there was anything he could do. Novo’s manufacturing facility was burned down the next day.

A couple days after Novo’s facility burned down, a bunch of men with Konovalov–Brooks’ bodyguard or muscle or something–came to his door and started pounding. He snuck out the back.“I won’t go back there. It’s not safe.”
