In an unexpected move, Fidel surprised us again with his talent, although this time to go to heaven to sing.

Fidel, I am very sorry for your departure.

I met him about 25 years ago. I am not sure how long ago I met Fidel Gamboa in his jinglera phase, adding music, sensitivity and talent to our commercial productions. Then he started Malpaís and then I stopped seeing him, to simply listen to him from a distance, with his music and creations, no longer for a commercial brand but for his country, his love of authenticity and commitment to what is his own.

However, for those of us who had the honor of knowing him and sharing with him, the memory of his warm, understanding, loving, open and willing personality remains. Of all the hours we spent in his studio at Videotek, only happy memories remain of someone who in life gave everything he could.

It was an honor and a pleasure to know you, Fidel. You were as big as the size of the void you leave today. Your loss is sensitive and visible to everyone in the country.

Presagio was always one of your songs, my favorite:

Que de Dios goce Fidel Gamboa.

Goodbye Fidel.
