In Memory of Carlos Reyes (1987-2021)
Carlos's spirit of discovery and kindness was the soul of Club Fonograma, which in turn changed the lives of so many people around the world. We celebrate his life knowing his legacy lives on through the many artists and writers who passed through the site and the world was enriched for having him grace it with his love. QEPD Carlitos.
