This article also analyzes the sound of Zalo Reyes’ first stage, since his early years until the arrival of the new century, when he gets away from the mass–media to build the character he finally became and his music was performed by younger musicians. Besides, the text —through different views created around the figure of Zalo Reyes— links the earlier times when Reyes was very popular with the most recent ones, when both music production and listening have changed in many ways, although that has not negatively impacted the singer´s popularity one year after his death. Finally, the article looks into the figure of the idol by emphasizing some aspects of music production, specifically those related to live or unplugged albums that never were recorded, giving rise to a kind of open work that must be completed by the listeners according to the contents available on digital platforms, even those not official. El presente artículo aborda la figura del cantante chileno Zalo Reyes e intenta develar las variables que lo instalan como un auténtico ídolo de los estratos populares y, por cierto, como una estrella desde la canción romántica que logra reactivar la industria discográfica con posterioridad al golpe militar por medio de altos volúmenes de venta, adentrándose en una televisión controlada, masificando el denominado «mal gusto» y transformándolo en «placer culpable». De igual forma, realiza un análisis del sonido de su primera etapa —el que lo catapulta a un público masivo— hasta la llegada del nuevo siglo, cuando se aleja de los mass–media para construir el personaje en el que finalmente se transforma y su música es revisitada por diversas bandas jóvenes. Junto con ello, el texto —a partir de las diferentes lecturas que proporciona la figura del cantante— vincula los tiempos de mayor exposición y popularidad con los actuales, donde tanto los modos de producción como consumo de música han mutado, no significando ello un impacto negativo en su popularidad, a un año de su muerte. Finalmente, el artículo interpela la figura del ídolo al enfatizar ciertos aspectos desde la producción discográfica a pesar de la popularidad del cantante, en lo relacionado con grabaciones en vivo, dando pie a una suerte de obra abierta que debe ser completada por el auditor de acuerdo a los contenidos disponibles en las plataformas digitales.
