1996 Chilean telethon
Encyclopedia
The 1996 Chilean telethon was version number 14 of the solidarity campaign
conducted in Chile
, which took place on 6th. and 7 December 1996. The theme of this version was "Another step forward."
After stumbling last year, the errors were corrected and this time the goal was achieved - an important objective as the following year (1997) the campaign would not be produced because of Chilean parliamentary election - and brought together CL$ 5,692,426,301 (counting from 00:32 hours on December 8, delivered at the National Stadium of Chile). The poster girl
at that time was Nicole Nuñez.
This edition was as famous for the phrase: "Identify with the Telethon" (which was also the name of the official theme song of this edition that was sung by Don Francisco and a group of local singers.) But this was not only thing because the General Director of the Chilean Carabiners, Fernando Cordero Rusque, put the card in the computer located in the Teatro Teleton, after talking to Don Francisco and showed a surprising figure for that time (14.15 hours) which was CL$ 1,220,396,645, marking the first time in 18 years that a police authority had issued a total.
As usual, the event began at the Teatro Teleton with some moving words from Mario Kreutzberger
, where he referred to the campaign and, following that, he sang with a children's choir, the theme of that Telethon. During the first section artists like Ricardo Montaner
, Illapu
, Dinamita Show and Alberto Plaza were presented. In addition Ciclodance were introduced, they had accompanied the show since 1990. After the first section a summary of the previous season was presented.
In the small hours was an act called Risaton, where a group of comedians such as Alvaro Salas, Ricardo Meruane and Bombo Fica, gathered on stage. Subsequently performed, from the city of Concepción
, the so-called Baileton, led by Rafael Araneda
, Cristian Velasco and Laura Silva.
At dawn came the section called "Waking Women" by Felipe Camiroaga
and Kike Morande, with celebrities like Ivan Valenzuela, Fernando Solabarrieta
and the winner Felipe Viel.
Before beginning a sort of chat conducted by Leo Caprile, The General Director of Carabineros
Fernando Cordero released a new total, resulting in a record high for the schedule. After that came the juvenile SEction with Ivan Valenzuela, Consuelo Saavedra and Angelica Castro.
On finishing the show at the Theatre, the totalling yielded CL$ 3,566,320,945. After an hour when the television channels sperated to broadcast there respective newscast, The final section started in the National Stadium
with the singing of the Ode to Joy
by José Alfredo Fuentes, who this year celebrated his 30 year career . Stage artists like Proyecto Uno
, Enrique Iglesias
, Marcos Llunas
, Ednita Nazario
and El General
went up onto the stage.
What was surprising was that at 23.36 hours, the animator Kike Morande proposed that at that time the total should exceed 5 billion pesos. The calculation yielded a surprising figure: $ 5,083,326,540, which meant that the goal would come soon.
Later, she pulled out the final total that brought joy to all the entertainers and the crowd at the stadium: $ 5,692,426,301. Closing the event, Don Francisco showed his gratitude to all those who had helped and finished the event with the official theme of that event.
, Jorge Hevia (one of the presenters) realized that a large number of the public were chanting a song of encouragement invented by Chilean football fans The host of the program Buenos días a todos
(Eng.: Good morning everybody) on TVN
began to sing the song. Later Don Francisco
sang the song in his own way and almost magically the lyrics of a jingle were born. It has since accompanied the Telethon and in general all Chileans and in later years would become the unofficial anthem of the Chilean national football team:
"Vamos, vamos chilenos, que esta noche, lo vamos a lograr"
(Eng.: Come on, come on Chileans, tonight, we are going to succeed)
That night after achieving the goal the song was:
"Vamos, vamos chilenos, que esta noche, la meta se logró"
(Eng.: Come on, come on Chileans, tonight the goal was achieved)
"Gracias, gracias chilenos, que esta noche, la meta se logró"
(Eng.: Thank you, thank you Chileans, tonight the goal was achieved)
