The case of a cumbia ranchera band from Vallenar, whose members fought before the pandemic and want to reconcile, will inaugurate today “Abrazapp”, the new section of “Good Morning to All” by Gino Costa.
The reporter tells hoyxhoy that the idea came up because “a lot of people had written to us that they wanted to reconcile with someone.” So, adapting to the current circumstances marked by the coronavirus, the TVN morning team came up with this new section virtually.
“Abrazapp” will have Costa connecting through platforms like Zoom and Skype, with people from different regions of the country who contacted him because they want to congratulate someone.
So did Hugo and Francisco, two musicians, originally from Vallenar, who wrote to the program because they wanted to reconcile with Sixto, vocalist of their band cumbia ranchera, Los relinchos del amor.
But it’s not just the music that brings them back, there are also family ties. Hugo and Sixto are brothers, Francisco is the son of the former and has a close relationship with his uncle.
“The problem arose on January 1, when, because of the band’s internal differences, Sixto decided to give it up, losing contact with his bandmates.
“They have a super strong bond, so it’s super painful. Sixto taught Francisco to sing, his nephew, the story is super pretty,” Costa says. “Then, of course, he was his mentor, his relative, his uncle, his second dad, his friend, his confidante, everything,” he adds.
It was there that he intermedyd the program, that he contacted a locutor in the area, Victor Isla – “who knows him all over the world and they adore him,” Costa says, to be “complicit” and help them find Sixto, who after leaving the gang went to work at a mine.
As good artists, Costa details that the protagonists of the first story of “Abrazapp” “are super charismatic” and that, in fact, Sixto is the double of Marco Antonio Solis, “has its facade”.
Gino Costa serviceThe new section of “Good Morning to All” will debut today at noon, and according to its driver “our mission is to make hugs more affectionate when the pandemic passes”. “We want to transform as a program a bridge to have the ground ready so that, when the pandemic passes, have a meeting with who you fought with,” says the reporter.
What is it like to do this section remotely?
It’s super complicated because I’m used to when we do things on the ground you go to the place of facts and here it’s not, everything is virtual. But that’s also accommodating the times we’re living in.
Does this mediator role suit you? What talents have you had to bring out?
It’s a super responsibility because you have to use all the charms to convince the one who’s angry to say yes. One transforms as a psychologist, a listener of many problems, but also of many congratulations and you get involved. Besides, people feel like you’re like their accomplice, it’s like you’re another member of their circle and that’s super nice.
