QUIEBRACANTO, THE LEGENDARY
It began in 1979 in a small street next to the Universidad de los Andes, with four tables: two for students from the U. Nacional, one for those from Los Andes and the fourth for the cacos. Its creator and manager, Alvaro Manosalva from Boyacá, was an architecture student at Nacho.

Although every day presents innovations, this original Quiebracanto maintains the philosophy and initial objectives of Manosalva, that is, to break the musical customs that existed at that time. For that, he brought classic salsa, which came mostly from the Valley, and the new Cuban trova, which is why the site is considered the pioneer and leader of this music in the country.

They started with heavy metal and hard rock. Almost everyone had a collection of records from bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Kiss, etc. As the years went by, they became familiar with the sounds of psychedelic rock of Pink Floyd, The Doors and the Rolling Stones.

“It was frequented by university professors, leftwing activists, poets, writers, theater producers, filmmakers, television stars and directors like 'el flaco' Solórzano and Dago García. Visual artists and, of course, musicians attended. Several groups came out of there, among which the best known was La 33 y su Pantera Mambo,” Pedro recalls.

The carter, by Portabales, was the signature song of La Pola. They learned that in the Dominican Republic the predominant rhythm was charanga and that its bestknown performer was Jhonny Pacheco. They discovered that they had a wrong idea about salsa, because for them everything that sounded with piano, trumpets, regardless of other instruments, was salsa.

They learned that this rhythm originated in New York, in the 60s, and that it is a genre with influences from Cuban son, jazz, Caribbean and American sounds. That most of its musicians are Puerto Rican and that almost all of them recorded with the Fania label, founded by Jerry Masucci and Johnny Pacheco in 1963.

As time went by, Larry Harlow, Willie Colon, Héctor Lavoe, Ray Barreto, Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, etc. were recognized. Pedro allowed Chano to play the music on some occasions, especially on Thursdays. He taught him that he had to start with the classic sounds of Ñico Saquito, Arcaño, Benny Moré, Bola de Nieve, La Lupe, La Sonora Matancera and his bestknown voice, Celia Cruz."
