A Conversation That Time Turned Into Archive

Radio, at the moment it airs, speaks mostly to the present: it comments on current events, entertains, informs. But when those records are preserved, over the years they end up becoming memory. This interview, recorded in 2010 at Candela Estéreo's studios, is today a document of an era of Colombian and Latin American radio and tropical music.
