The Low Tone Club, a new Colombian comedy-drama, will be released on Disney Plus on February 22, 2023 at 3:00 AM ET. The Spanish version of the program stars Latin greats like Carlos Vives and Julián Arango. Since its first publication, the trailer of the new comedy series has received great feedback:
According to the show’s official synopsis:
“Amaranto Molina, an unorthodox music teacher, teaches at a school that specializes in music education. The institution follows archaic regulations and underprivileged students who do not meet commercial success criteria.”
The program is being produced by TeleColombia for The Walt Disney Company and will consist of 10 thirty-minute episodes.
Carles Vivos, a Latin American music icon, plays an unorthodox music teacher in The Low Tone Club.
Carlos Vives, a household name in the Latin American music business, is certainly the crowning glory of the show. Vives rose to prominence with the 1994 release, La Gota Fria, and has more than 13 albums and 30 singles to his name. Carlos Vives’ career has taken off after the success of La Gota Fria. After successive successes in the form of four major albums and 17 singles, he finally won his first Grammy in 2002 for Déjame Entras, becoming the first Colombian to do so.
In The Low Tone Club, audiences see Carlos Vives return to the screen as an unconventional music teacher, Amaranto Molina, who leads a group of students struggling to make their mark at a music school. Carlos Vives also created a song for the show called Tumbado Muros.
However, this isn’t Carlos Vives’ first time collaborating with Disney. According to the Los Angeles Times:
“In addition, the Grammy and Latin Grammy winner has performed the song ‘Colombia, My Encanto’, which is featured in the trailer of the animated movie ‘Encanto’.
