Cañonazo Tropical (2015) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2015, Cañonazo Tropical is a musique film directed by Felipe García-Peña, running about 55 minutes. “Hits from yesterday, today and always” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. When "Tropical Hits" premiered on December, 2015, on National Television, it became the highest-rated documentary ever on Colombian television, with over 4 million viewers. "Hits from yesterday, today and always" is probably one of the most popular phrases known by Colombians, and its one of the phrases that follows the release of the popular December album, 14 cañonazos bailables ("14 dance music hits"), a music compilation that for 54 editions has become the thermometer of Colombian popular music. In 1960, "Discos Fuentes", the oldest record label in Colombia, decided to bet on a new way of producing music, releasing the first mixed album that combined the most important songs of the year. That first album marked a new era in the music production industry in Colombia. "It was like bringing home the disco every Christmas". Since then, the "Hits" have been a mandatory purchase every December.

Who’s in it. Cañonazo Tropical stars Alfredo Gutiérrez as Alfredo Gutiérrez, Adolfo Echavarría as Adolfo Echavarría, Eliseo Herrera as Eliseo Herrera and Julio Ernesto Estrada "Fruko" as Fruko, among others.
