In search of the sound of Metamorfosis

We are working to track down genuine Metamorfosis sets in the best possible audio quality. If you keep a cassette, a mix or a jingle, share it through the contact form.

Founders and early years

Metamorfosis was born in the mid-1980s in Upata, state of Bolívar. It was founded by Hubert Campos, Vladimir Medina and Celso Fernández, who with dedication built a project that combined passion, music and spectacle. It was a miniteca that went after the best in every show, and today it is remembered as an unforgettable piece of that era.

Discjockeys and collaborators

Among its discjockeys (now DJs) were:

· Richard Marchán
· John Carlos “El Indio”
· Celso Fernández
· José Campero Toton
· José Gregorio “El Mocho Goyo”
· Hubert Campos
· Fernando Corrales
· Vladimir Medina

Style, importance and legacy

Metamorfosis worked not only as a miniteca, but as a school of learning: many DJs from Upata and the region acknowledge its direct influence.

Musically, Metamorfosis moved among disco music, carefully chosen mixes, a sound show and lighting adapted to the resources available, but with aesthetic ambition. Its role was formative, inspiring those who later put together their own rigs or technical crews.

What we are still finding out

Several key details are missing: the exact years of activity, recordings / records if there were any, original contacts, whether it keeps any presence today on social media or in some other form, old photographs. If you have kept any material from Metamorfosis (photos, flyers, jingles, accounts), it will be very valuable in completing this story.
