Emerson, You and I are both in the Television & Radio business so ‘m going to be delving into the cores. As the Founder of  & Producer Asonga TV and Asonga Radio, creative and founder of the program “DJS LIFE” for television and the production company XL TV AND ENTERTAIMENT, the producer is in charge of both the creative direction as well as the business aspects. In television, the producer’s role varies depending on the format of the television production. Producers of sitcoms and dramatic series are frequently the writers/creators. Producers for news programming tend to have journalism backgrounds. Talk shows and game shows also have their own unique hierarchy.

My First Question, As the founder, what’s the history of Asonga TV and Asonga Radio?

Asonga for me is a reality that I played live and of which I am very proud, create the know-how of a medium of communication in a country is a big thing now that I have been a part in one way or another of the social and cultural growth of Equatorial Guinea, Thank you very much for the confidence placed in me by The President and the administration of ASONGA RTV, it seems to me a very noble project that his only concern has been that the youth of the country who devotes his time to study this profession, I can count with two means of communication to the height of the other countries, in addition apostadondo much for aesthetic reasons, a journalistic line neutral, programs International programs and events with national talent.

Para mi asonga es una realidad que me toco vivir y de la cual me siento muy orgulloso, crear el know how de un medio de comunicación en un país es algo muy grande ya que he formado parte de una u otra manera del crecimiento social y cultural de guinea ecuatorial, 

Agradezco mucho la confianza puesta en mi por parte del señor presidente y la administración de ASONGA RTV, me parece un proyecto muy noble que su único interés ha sido que la juventud del país que dedica su tiempo a estudiar esta profesión, pueda contar con dos medios de comunicación a la altura de los demás países, además apostadondo mucho por la estética, una línea periodística neutral, programas internacionales y programas hechos con talento nacional.

and that leads me to  – How did you choose to be a producer ?

15 Years ago when I arrived in Spain as an immigrant from my country Colombia, I felt that toward lack a means of communication for the entire Latino community, a radio with good music, advice from lawyers in the field of immigration, local sporting events, festivals and of course the support to all Latino entrepreneurs that were investing money in the country and is where, in partnership with a Spanish businessman rode FIESTA FM MADRID.
After this adventure takes us to bring the international television in several countries of south america, this brings us to fit a tv producer and dedicate ourselves to creating content of value and submission in several channels in Spain.
I have become a producer of radio and television first for the love of the profession and second by the need to communicate and create content of much value to an audience who needed a means of communication that create sense of belonging and closeness with the countries of origin of all immigrants.

Hace 15 años cuando llegue a España como inmigrante desde mi país Colombia, sentí que hacia falta un medio de comunicación para toda la comunidad latina, una radio con buena música, asesoría de abogados en materia de inmigración, eventos deportivos locales, fiestas y por supuesto el apoyo a todos los empresarios latinos que estaban invirtiendo dinero en el país y es cuando en sociedad con un empresario español montamos FIESTA FM MADRID.
Después esta aventura nos lleva a traer la televisión internacional de varios países de sur américa, esto nos lleva a montar una productora de televisión y dedicarnos a crear contenido de valor y presentarlo en varios canales en España.
Me he convertido en productor de radio y televisión primero por amor a la profesión y segundo por la necesidad de comunicar y crear contenido de mucho valor para un publico que necesitaba un medio de comunicación que creara sentido de pertenencia y cercanía con los países de origen de todos los inmigrantes.

Asonga TV Radio is now  one of the biggest radio stations in Africa broadcasting from Equatorial Guinea to most parts of the world, It has become so huge, how did you go about achieving the success?

 

The success of Radio Asonga, has been well defined the objective, well-trained young people who are part of the team to create a good clock musical programming, devote time to the program structure and according to my point of view the creativity of the channel adds and awareness campaigns.

El éxito de asonga Radio, ha sido definir bien el objetivo, formar bien a los jóvenes que forman parte del equipo, crear un buen reloj de programación musical, dedicar tiempo a la estructura de los programas y según mi punto de vista la creatividad de las autopromos y campañas de sensibilización.

As a celebrity Journalist, News anchor and Actress, I’ve worked with other famous actors & celebrities, I’ve interviewed Football Stars, State Governors, Business Tycoons, Executives, Authors, Singers & Writers around the globe which will be the case for you, Who’s the most interesting or famous person you ever interviewed?

I have interviewed artists such as Shakira, Juanes, Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Ricky Martin, hahahahaha many singers, actors and Djs, i’ve already lost the account, but the most important characters with whom I have shared a cab radio have been 3 girls of 9 years and 1 child of 10 years with the that toward a radio program which was called the CLUB, and you can’t imagine the things that you can ask and the answers that can reach to give children, has been perhaps the most attractive experience of my entire career.

He entrevistado a artistas como Shakira, Juanes, Eros ramazzotti, Nek, Ricky Martin, jajajajaja muchos cantantes, actores y Djs, ya he perdido la cuenta, pero los personajes mas importantes con los que he compartido una cabina de radio han sido 3 niñas de 9 años y 1 niño de 10 años con los que hacia un programa de radio que se llamaba EL CLUB, y no te imaginas las cosas que pueden preguntar y las respuestas que pueden llegar a dar los niños, ha sido quizá la experiencia mas atractiva de toda mi carrera.

For someone who is brand new to Television and Radio production or documentary filmmaking, as a Top Producer, what would you say is the number one, TOP thing they need to learn?

It must be clear what they really want to make in the media and have patience, at the beginning not everything goes as one wants.
It is very important to be well prepared in all areas of production as this allows you to define concepts and not to lose the final goal.

se debe tener claro lo que realmente se quiere hacer en los medios y tener mucha paciencia, al inicio no todo sale como uno quiere.
Es muy importante estar bien preparado en todas las áreas de la producción ya que esto permite definir bien los conceptos y no perder el objetivo final.

Just before I let you go, you are at present rolling with Djs international of electronic music throughout the world, I know that, tell me some of your rolling stuffs?
