Discos Qualiton
Encyclopedia
Discos Qualiton was a record label
, published by the extinct recording studio Fonema S.A. A garage experiment born in Rosario, Argentina
in 1961, Qualiton would later became a major independent project influencing a generation of artists, writers, musicians, poets and filmmakers.
records in Argentina was made under the umbrella of Fondo Cultural, a firm based in Rosario, and incorporated in Buenos Aires
. Fondo Cultural resorted to the use of the name Qualiton, which eventually led to the establishment of a close relationship with the homonymous Qualiton of Hungary
, the state owned record company during the Communist years.
Joaquín Rodrigo
's “Cantares de los pajes de la nao” by the Coro Estable de Rosario, conducted by Cristián Hernández Larguía, was Qualiton's first recording in 1961. Soon, the idea of producing other choruses became a perfect venue to establish the company in the local arena. Editions of no more than 300 LPs, were being quickly absorbed amongst the members of the chorus ensemble and their close relatives. By 1965, the early catalog of Discos Qualiton produced by Fondo Cultural, was beginning to develop into a greater ordeal. Fondo Cultural became extinct and Fonema incorporated thus allowing Nora Raffo and Carlos Melero, newest members of the Qualiton team, to joined in the corporation.
The following Fonema years, were mostly but not exclusively dedicated to produce classical music with a particular emphasis in baroque
and colonial periods in Latin America
under its Qualiton label. Also worth mentioning are the recordings of ethnographic music harvested in the field and gathered under the label Serie del Conocimiento and the unique recordings of literary works known as Juglaría.
The original concept of a small and family orientated garage experiment born in Rosario, had grown out of proportion. However, by 1976, a military putsch, led by Jorge Rafael Videla
, ousted Argentine president Isabel Perón making life quite difficult for the arts at large, and in particular for domestic labels linked to the previous years of social unrest. The final days of Discos Qualiton came about in 1978.
Only a few complete collections of Discos Qualiton, and other labels associated to Fonema and Fondo Cultural, have survived and are available in a handful of libraries, private collections, and research institutes throughout Europe and the US. It is worth noticing that up to 1977, the artistic direction of Discos Qualiton was mostly the result of the expertise of Ivan Cosentino as a musician and recording engineer, while the publishing, editorial presentation, production and marketing was carried out by Nelson Montes-Bradley.
According to what has been reconstructed from catalogues, newspaper articles and vinyl records available from private collectors and currently being sold at auctions or through internet services. Qualiton was one of five labels published by Fonema in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Other labels released by Fonema were: Colección privada (Private Stock), Serie del conocimiento (Knowledge Series), Archivo Colonial de América Latina (The Latin American Colonial Archive) and Juglaría. Each new album released by Fonema was identified with an alphanumeric code in one of the five labels. Some of the sequences in the catalog are interrupted and this is perhaps due perhaps to the fact the albums were either pending release or that we have not yet been able to identify its contents. In order to facilitate research we present each album (LP) in the following categories.
QH-2006: Roberto Lara, guitarra. Guitarist Roberto Lara plays from a repertoire of Argentine composers: Carlos Guastavino, Pelaia, A. Alemann, Julián Aguirre, Gómez Carrillo and Abel Fleury. Roberto Lara, guitar; Eduardo A. Alemann, recorder.
. The idea of exclusivity was becoming popular in Argentina at the time also through the different programs promoted by credit cards such as Diners Club
and American Express
. The logo revealed a key and the number 500 in reference to the privacy held by the exclusive members. Colección Privada initially announced it was going to release on LP every month.

and Mario Loza. The graphic corporate image of Qualiton was created by Oscar Díaz. Díaz was a prestigious local graphic artist who also conceived the unique logo of Discos Qualiton, Juglaría and Colección Privada. Qualiton's logo, a spiral to its center representing the groove in a vinyl record, incorporated the illusion of a human eye. The concept merged the idea of music and the visual arts in one label. Pablo Barragan, also a graphic designer, joined Qualiton as the in-house artist during the last years of Fonema.

and Mario Loza. The graphic corporate image of Qualiton was created by Oscar Díaz. Díaz was a prestigious local graphic artist who also conceived the unique logo of Discos Qualiton, Juglaría and Colección Privada.
