Una de las tradiciones en el mes de diciembre en Colombia es reunirse con familia y amigos durante los nueve d as antes de la Navidad para celebrar las Novenas para disfrutar platos t picos, risas y, un poco m s entrada la noche, m sica bailable colombiana para prender la rumba.
De d nde viene ese ritmo que convirti una tradici n en un baile de barrio? La respuesta est en Los Ca onazos Bailables, el compilado anual de xitos que produce la reconocida disquera Discos Fuentes.
Los Ca onazos Bailables cambiaron la forma de escuchar y comercializar la m sica al reunir por primera vez en la historia de la m sica en Colombia -y en Am rica Latina- los xitos bailables en una misma entrega. El primer volumen de Los Ca onazos incluy xitos de Lucho Berm dez Y Su Orchestra, Pedro Laza Y Sus Pelayeros y Los Teen Agers.
Despu s de 1960, Discos Fuentes seguir an publicando cada a o un nuevo volumen de Los Ca onazos Bailables, que se convertir a en una pieza clave en la cultura y un acontecimiento anual para los amantes de la rumba. A n hoy, canciones que fueron grandes xitos de este compilado como El Preso de Fruko y Sus Tesos con Wilson Manyoma, Rebeli n del Joe Arroyo y La Verdad o Isla para Dos de Galileo Y Su Banda, despiertan entre los colombianos un incontrolable impulso de bailar y un sentimiento de nostalgia a las fiestas.
Los Ca onazos Bailables son solo uno de los destacados aportes de Discos Fuentes a la cultura musical en Am rica Latina. La compa a fue fundada en 1934 en Cartagena por Antonio, uno de los seis hermanos de la familia Fuentes, despu s de un viaje a los Estados Unidos. Impresionado con la tecnolog a de la industria musical, Antonio regres a Colombia con la idea de grabar las canciones de los artistas locales.
En una poca en que la m sica se consum a a trav s de la radio y la gente iba a bailar a los salones inspirados en Cuba, Discos Fuentes llev la m sica y el baile al p blico masivo gracias a la introducci n de tecnolog as innovadoras para la poca como la producci n de discos en serie. Con presentaciones como la de Lucho Berm dez o la de Pacho Gal n, la disquera le apost a la reivindicaci n de los ritmos tradicionales de la regi n caribe a junto con grandes actos al mejor estilo de las big bands americanas. La m sica tropical colombiana conquistar a muchos corazones -y caderas- y atraer a la atenci n de los p blicos internacionales.
Cuando le preguntas a los j venes por artistas colombianos de talla internacional, muchos no recuerdan que hace 40 a os llen bamos escenarios en todo el mundo con artistas como Los Corraleros de Majagual , se ala Tony Pe arredonda, actual gerente general de Discos Fuentes, recordando los grandes xitos de la m sica colombiana antes de Shakira, J Balvin y Maluma. Ten amos al Joe Arroyo, Rodolfo Aicardi, Latin Brothers y Fruko y Sus Tesos en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York. Era el inicio de una explosi n de nuestro folclor por todo el mundo .
85 a os despu s del nacimiento de Discos Fuentes, la m sica se escucha diferente. Gracias al streaming, sus canciones est n trascendiendo fronteras. Asimismo, su m sica est evolucionando para responder a las nuevas audiencias, cada vez mejor perfiladas gracias a la data y la informaci n que ofrece la tecnolog a. Ejemplo de esto son artistas como Afrosound y la DJ Electropika, quienes han tomado las ra ces musicales y el folclor latino con instrumentos como la gaita y el acorde n, y le han sumado nuevos elementos provenientes del rock, el pop y la m sica urbana.
A trav s de Spotify, la disquera quiere proyectar su idea de m sica para la posteridad. Una propuesta creativa, m s que comercial, seguros de que lo que surge como una manifestaci n del ingenio y del gusto en la m sica, puede convertirse en un xito. Lo que est naciendo son nuevas propuestas donde hay m s apertura, los artistas no est n encasillados y son m s abiertos a nuevos ritmos. Lo m s importante es que tengan calidad y que realmente transmitan alegr a, baile y movimiento, que es lo que buscamos con la m sica , concluye Pe arredonda.
