Discos Fuentes, 90 años

Este jueves 19 de julio nos encontramos en un estupendo bar de Envigado para brindar con ginebra y lychee por el episodio N° 150 del podcast "En La Casa". Son cuatro años de conversaciones publicadas semanalmente en Spotify con gente admirable y contando historias que construyen leyendas. Esta vez, nuestro invitado a un ameno conversatorio entre amigos y prensa ha sido Discos Fuentes, el sello que ha conformado uno de los catálogos más amplios e importantes del mundo de la música hispana del continente en 90 años, y su música es celebración de la colombianidad. Su gerente Tony Peñarredonda dice que "un disco es un milagro", y con el auge de una nostalgia fantasmal por el vinilo, el milagro será conseguir los clásicos más ambicionados de esta casa en el mercado, pues los primeros de Los Corraleros de Majagual y Fruko ya tienen dueños y no los sueltan. Con este encuentro comienzan las celebraciones de 90 años del sello colombiano, primera casa de Lucho Bermúdez, Pedro Laza y Guillermo Buitrago para consolidarse en el tiempo como el hogar de la cumbia y las grandes orquestas colombianas. Una empresa familiar que nació como farmacéutica y que luego se transformó en emisora y después de apagar su señal muy temprano, en 1934 en Cartagena se convirtió en estudio. Veinte años más tarde llegaron a Medellín para liderar la industria con innovación, creatividad sonora y tecnología. Hace 30 años estaban grabando en su moderno estudio de Guayabal las bandas Kraken y Estados Alterados simultáneamente, y quedan maravillosas anécdotas de aquel encuentro de dos mundos: el de los rockeros zanahorios que llegaban al ambiente tropical de La Sonora Dinamita, Fruko, Alfredo Gutiérrez o Los Embajadores Vallenatos, que le daban las primeras pinceladas al nuevo vallenato. En esta conversación con su director de comunicaciones, José Miguel Gómez trazamos una línea de tiempo desde el nacimiento del sello legendario de don Antonio Fuentes y de uno de sus productos más memorables: "14 Cañonazos Bailables", además de su amplio catálogo, rico en géneros y artistas. ¡Felices 90, Discos Fuentes!

'In the 1970s, Cartagena singer Joe Arroyo was one of the greatest salsa entertainers in Colombia. A man known to be proud of his African roots, Arroyo would go on to author one of the most iconic songs emblematic of Black love and resistance, 'La Rebelion.' He opens with, 'I want to tell you, my Brother, a little piece of Black history,' and sings the story of a slave revolt that championed protecting Black women. He had all of Latin America singing the refrain, 'No le pegue a la negra' which translates to, 'Don't hit the Black woman.'

The classic salsa song which is set in 1600s Colombia rebukes the violence against enslaved Africans and re-lives an overlooked history of South America's largest slave trading port in Cartagena.

'Un matrimonio africano, esclavos de un español.' Arroyo introduces a married enslaved couple, whose young wife is being mistreated and physically abused by their Spanish captors. The heart of this song is in the depiction of a black man who, as captive, will endure abuse, hard labor, famine, humiliation and even death before he lets anyone - let alone a colonizer - put hands on the woman he loves.'

- bobby high fiving everyone EXCEPT andrew after his solo (he very much skipped him on purpose and wasn’t even subtle about it)

- philippe quietly going “okie.” after lance’s line as he’s leaving the stage after oops

- something that made my heart drop was when the stage manager came onstage during intermission to make an announcement that turned out to be that there was a mix up with the understudy slips so some said matt!may and esosa!gregory instead of michael!may and matt!gregory so it was just a clarification on that

- when bobby walked past phil to go sit down during BOMT he reached his hand out to them and squeezed their hand

I Love You

Joel Miller trudged up the gravel driveway of his modest suburban home, the weight of the day's labor evident in his weary steps. The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the neighborhood, and Joel paused for a moment to appreciate the peacefulness that settled with the evening. He ran a calloused hand through his dark hair, his mind already beginning to relax as he approached the front door.

As he stepped inside, he was immediately greeted by the lively sound of “En Barranquilla Me Quedo” by joe arroyo filling the air. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. The familiar rhythms of the guitar and the passionate voice of the singer created a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rhythmic beats of salsa resonated throughout the house, mingling with the scent of a home-cooked meal. the vibrant music lifting the weight of the day from his shoulders.

Following the music, Joel walked into the living room and found his wife, Y/N, and their young daughter, Sarah, dancing together. Y/N’s hips swayed gracefully to the music, her movements fluid and full of joy. Sarah, though still learning, mirrored her mother’s steps with a mix of concentration and delight.

Y/N caught sight of Joel standing in the doorway and smiled warmly at him, her eyes sparkling with love. "Hey there, handsome," she called out, her voice a melodic contrast to the lively music. "Care to join us?"

Joel chuckled, shaking his head. "I think I'll leave the dancing to you two pros."

Sarah giggled, her laughter infectious as she twirled under her mother’s arm. "Come on, Daddy! It's fun!" she urged, her eyes bright with excitement.

Joel couldn't resist the appeal in his daughter’s voice. With a playful sigh, he stepped forward, joining them in the center of the room. Y/N took his hand, guiding him into the rhythm of the music. He was a bit clumsy at first, but Y/N’s laughter and Sarah’s encouragement made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment.

As the song played on, Joel found his groove, moving with a surprising grace. Y/N spun Sarah around, her little feet barely touching the ground as she laughed in pure delight. The room was filled with the sounds of their happiness, a symphony of laughter and music that drowned out any worries.

Joel’s eyes met Y/N’s, and for a moment, they were lost in each other. The love they shared was evident in every glance, every touch. It was moments like these that reminded Joel of how lucky he was to have such a beautiful family.

The song came to an end, and they all paused, catching their breath. Y/N pulled Joel and Sarah into a tight embrace, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears of joy. "I love you both so much," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.

"We love you too, Mommy," Sarah said, hugging her mother tightly.

Joel kissed the top of Y/N’s head, his heart swelling with affection. "You two are my everything," he murmured, holding his family close.

As another song began to play, Joel found himself caught up in the magic of the moment. He knew that life was unpredictable and that challenges would come, but with Y/N and Sarah by his side, he felt ready to face anything. Together, they danced, their hearts beating in time with the music, united in their love and the simple joy of being together. He could hear the unmistakable sound of his wife, Y/N, singing along, her voice harmonizing beautifully with the music.
