Celia Cruz, Joan Sebastian and Juan Gabriel are great Latin music and have inspired the creators of the small screen content
For months, the protagonists some soaps of this country, in which fiction and reality is mixed, are not great people completely invented in their dramas and passions … but and recognized figures in the world of Latin music.
Currently at issue is “Celia”, about the famous salsa singer Celia Cruz , and “Diomedes, the chief of the junta” on the Colombian vallenato singer Diomedes Diaz, for Singapore at 8 pm and World Max at 7 pm, respectively. Is expected to soon debut the series on Joan Sebastian Televisa Univision , and “Until I met you” Juan Gabriel produced by Disney Media for Telemundo in the US and TV Azteca in Mexico.
And this is no coincidence.
“Whether we like channel as network [string], we were developing various strategies to our prime [primetime] and within them were these biomusicals [musical biographical], series of personalities Hispanic with relevance to this market … and got our hands the proposal of Celia and loved it. And after assessments, we said, ‘This is perfect for us to serve as a gateway for the scan you want to do’. . So it is that little key to that door “, said Leonor Sotillo, vice president of programming for Telemundo to this medium

The executive said that in tuning issues, “has done very well to our satisfaction.”
This model follows in the wake Sites where melodramas have evolved beyond the typical soap opera.
“This has been very well received in countries like Colombia, with very local singers, as ‘sincere Love’ [on the Colombian singer and actress Marbelle ], with ‘Diomedes’ with ‘Rafael Orozco, [Idol'], we obviously scale of what we think would work here. So let’s try not to make a replica, but the style of Telemundo follow a worldwide trend and would be interested to look at what our audience, and we know we are not going to look at another channel in the US ” said Sotillo Productions RCN and Caracol Television.
For those skilled in telenovelas, this method meets the requirements of the public who are not as loyal to typical soaps.
“This market trend is because there is a more diverse audience. It is a scenario of globalization, more, more political social issues, but without leaving aside the issue of love that can not miss “, stressed Ana Uribe-Alvarado, author of” My imagined Mexico. TV soap operas and migrants “.
Also, the public now has more options when it comes to having fun.
” These bionovelas, or the term used for these series which are shorter, are working. If not, they do not continue to do. Duran least the scenes themselves are shorter … [Their stories are about] characters whose lives are fascinating, that’s why we have so many of these stories brought here [to the Hispanic market in the United States] “ said Carolina Acosta-Alzuru, a professor of journalism and communication at the University of Georgia in Athens.
It also agreed that these series have a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, is the love and public recognition to the protagonist or; on the other, that same love can backfire when their lives are in a way with which the public disagrees counted. This is the case of socio-political and economic vision of Celia, by references to Fidel Castro and exile to the country. Uribe-Alvarado said in the series on The Huarachera of Cuba “historically does little”.
But despite this, they have more elements in their favor than against, they explained.
“Series of Juan Gabriel and Joan Sebastian will be successful in the soap opera formula. [They tell stories of someone who] had nothing and then it all. The model remains very traditional “, Uribe-Alvarado said.
The executive of Telemundo recognized that within the challenges is the make sure the public knows that it is” a series of fiction based on the life of these figures … a dramatized language “of 80 chapters, equivalent to around four months of issue.
” It’s not a documentary ” , he said.
For series Joan Sebastian , not surprising that its premiere will be first in this country, not in Mexico, as in . almost every production of Televisa
