Discos Fuentes is a record label based in Colombia. It was founded in 1934 in Cartagena, Colombia by Antonio Fuentes Estrada, and was the first Colombian record label.  The label was instrumental in introducing African-based genres such as cumbia, fandango, and porro to Colombia.  Discos Fuentes has to see with the rising of legendary musicians and composers like Guillermo Buitrago, Rafael Escalona and Julio César Bovea, among many others.
The label has been described as "Colombia's version of Motown", peaking in the 1960s and early 1970s.  Discos Fuentes achieved a series of firsts for Colombia: the first compilation LP (1960), the first to release music on Compact disc (1987), and the first Laser disc released by a Latin America record label (1995).  While founder Estrada died in 1985, the late 1980s onwards saw the company expand into video production, and the takeover of labels including Discos Tropical and Curro.
Listen Clothing pays tribute to one of the most influential latin labels of all times, this one from Colombia... who brought us Fruko y sus Tesos, AfroSound, Latin Brothers and many others...  And Listen Recovery (Creators of Listen Clothing) twist it up by creating a FUERTES logo.
To all of our peers and diggers in the world... this one is for Colombia!
