Angol
The telenovela, produced by Televisa - the largest mass media company in Latin America - was a great success, combining fiction and reality through the creation of an actual musical group made up of the main characters in the program. The group, called RBD, went on to become a worldwide pop phenomenon. Venegas's version, presented in this book, is an alternative to the image produced in a commercial language patented by Televisa, focusing as it does on the fleeting, "insignificant" moments before and after the cameras recorded the official version. As the phenomenon itself recedes into the past, this book becomes not so much the document of a specific moment in the history of television as a revealing portrait of a discourse that is consumed and digested daily by millions of television viewers. RBD still has a strong fan base throughout Europe and the TV series is scheduled for re-runs in many countries through to 2014.
