"Se me olvidó el himno nacional" - Fonseca | La Tobón Show

Fonseca arrives at La Tobón Show to celebrate the release of his 11th album, "Antes que el tiempo se vaya" (Before Time Passes By)—a work that, after 24 years in the business, feels most true to who he is today: a present father, a grateful husband, and an artist who has learned to pause and listen to the silence. In this intimate conversation with Laura Tobón, Fonseca opens his heart about his fears as a father in the age of screens, gratitude as a musical banner, and how he achieved collaborations that seemed impossible: Rubén Blades, Juanes, Manuel Medrano, and Rawayana. He also recounts, for the first time, the biggest blunder of his career—the time he forgot to sing the national anthem in front of the stadium during a World Cup qualifier in Barranquilla, and how Twitter wouldn't let him rest. We talked about the concert at El Campín on October 24th, the possibility of having Rubén Blades on stage, the album he never released with Joe Arroyo, and why today, more than ever, it makes sense to turn off the screens and live in the present. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Episode Topics: The meaning of album 11 "Antes que el tiempo se vaya" (Before Time Goes By) How he achieved the collaboration with Rubén Blades The blunder of the national anthem during the qualifiers The story behind the collaboration with Rawayana The rock merengue with Juanes The unfulfilled dream with Joe Arroyo The magic call to Paul McCartney Fonseca's fears as a father Gratitude as a musical banner The Campín concert on October 24th Living in the present vs. The Screens The Sacrifices Behind the 12 Songs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss any episodes of La Tobón Show. 💬 What's the song you'd put on repeat for all eternity?
