Discomoda, officially known as El Disco de Moda C.A., is one of Venezuela's earliest and longest-standing record labels. Founded in 1948 by César Roldán in Caracas, it holds the distinction of being the country's oldest family-operated record label.
Initially, Discomoda functioned as an importer and distributor of records from countries such as Mexico, the United States, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia. Over time, it evolved into a significant industrial entity in Latin America, focusing on recording and promoting Venezuelan artists. The label's early catalog featured a diverse array of genres, including folk, popular music, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms that gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s.
Discomoda played a pivotal role in the Venezuelan music scene by recording and promoting national talents. Notable artists associated with the label include Billo's Caracas Boys, Los Melódicos, and Nelson y Sus Estrellas. The label's commitment to Venezuelan music significantly contributed to the country's rich musical heritage.
As of the latest available information, Discomoda remains active, continuing its legacy of promoting Venezuelan music. The label is managed by Wolfgang Roldán for the Latin American market and Dwight Roldán for the United States market.
