Telemundo’s first original music drama series.
Julio Cesar Solar is music’s number one star, and his younger brother Mateo Solar is one of the industry’s most important composers and producers. They have fame and power, but an unexpected tragedy will shake everything they’ve built and lead Mateo to embark on a search for answers. What he’ll find is an unimaginable network of mafias linked to the music business – all of which he will now have to face. At the head of this network is the popular music singer Rafa Zabala and the corrupt businessman Amado Matamoros. In his journey, Mateo falls in love with the aspiring singer Manara, Amado's half-sister, who has sought his guidance as producer. This, however, will not prevent Mateo from unleashing a war against his powerful enemies upon discovering the truth.
It will be a battle to the death ... both on and behind the scenes.

Considered one of the most ambitious Spanish language series to ever be produced in Latin America. Hugo Chavez, El Comandante is a fictional drama inspired by the life of the late leader of Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution – a man of humble origins, who defied all odds to become the most controversial and powerful Latin American leader of his time. Presenting real life events and fictional characters, Hugo Chavez, El Comandante, showcases the fundamental aspects of a man’s life – a childhood guided by the love of a grandmother, conspiracies formed in the military academy, an experience behind bars, lovers and companions, and ambitions, the same ones that led him to rewrite history, ally with the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and defy not only the greatest power in the universe, but also a terrible cancer that led him to his imminent death, just as he was at the peak of his popularity. El Comandante is the story of a man and a country, of a leader who surged from nothing and rose to the greatest heights with enough power to obtain anything he pleased, a revolutionary who had the ability to transform a nation.
Cast: Andrés Parra, Gabriela Vergara, Stephanie Cayo, Julián Román, César Manzano, Sheila Monterola, Jimmy Vázquez
