Campanas originales de XEW radio "la voz de la América latina desde México"

In this video, Rodrigo De La Cadena explains the history of the vibraphone, which was used for many years to identify radio station XEW, The Voice of Latin America from Mexico. This device is mistakenly known as a xylophone, as it is not made of wood, but rather metal. It actually consists of five tubular bells that have been used to identify the most important station in Mexico and Latin America since 1930. Like W, many other radio stations such as XEQ, XEB, XEX, and XELA used phonotypes such as bells, chimes, vibraphones, percussion instruments, and glockenspiels. Currently, not including foreign stations that began this tradition, such as NBC, CBS, or the BBC in London, the only stations that maintain this tradition are Radio UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and XEB, the Big B of Mexico. Video recorded on September 18, 2015. Announcers such as Ricardo López Méndez, Pedro de Lille, Alonso Sordo Noriega, Luis Ignacio Santibáñez, Luis Cáceres, Ramiro Gamboa, Héctor Martínez Serrano, Claudio Lenk, Jaime Ortiz Pino, Manuel de la Vega, Manuel Bernal, Álvaro Gálvez y Fuentes, Luis Farías, and Carlos Pickering are just some of the voices that defined a historically distinct style, accompanying the identity of the station founded by Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta on September 18, 1930.
