Usage Note

Discográfica is the standard Spanish term for a record company or label (sello discográfico is the fuller form). As an adjective it means 'relating to the record industry', but in everyday usage it functions as a standalone noun. The word derives from disco (record/disc) + the suffix -gráfica (relating to reproduction/printing). It is used across Spain and Latin America in music-industry contexts.
