's "Cantares de los pajes de la nao" by Coro Estable de Rosario, conducted by Cristián Hernández Larguía, was Qualiton's first recording in 1961. Soon, the idea of producing other choruses became a perfect venue to establish the company in the local arena. Limited editions, of no more than 300 units, were quickly absorbed amongst the members of the chorus ensemble and their relatives. By 1965, the early catalog of Discos Qualiton produced by Fondo Cultural, was beginning to develop into a greater ordeal. Fondo Cultural became extinct and Fonema incorporated thus allowing Nora Raffo and Carlos Melero, newest members of the Qualiton team, to join in the corporation. The following years were mostly dedicated to producing

The 1970s

By the late 1960s, the record label had already relocated from Rosario to

and expanded its catalog. New investors were seduced by the idea of creating a major independent label. Curt von Simpson and Gertrudis Moser joined Fonema executive leadership providing the needed contacts with local banks (namely Banco Oddone). During this period of expansion ''Take One'', a state-of-the-art 24-channel recording studio was built to specs. The console was manufactured by Solidyne and the studio acoustics was designed by Oscar Bonello. ''Take one'', which would eventually become a landmark of the record industry was located at Fonema's HQ on Perú 375 in Buenos Aires historical district known as MonserratLuis Maria Cosenza (producer) interviewed by the author of this article.

making life quite difficult for the arts at large, and in particular for domestic labels linked to the previous years of social unrest. On October 22, 1976, an unsigned article denouncing "Marxist Penetration" was published in the newspaper La Razón. The clipping inspired a paramilitary group to target the studios of Discos Qualiton, then located in Calle Perú 365, Buenos Aires, and also members of the board of directors. The artists involved in the actual creation of the songs reproduced in the LP as denounced in the article published by La Razón were forced into exile. Author Vico Ciliberti fled to Rome. The final days of Discos Qualiton came about in 1978. Only a few complete collections of Discos Qualiton and other labels associated with Fonema and Fondo Cultural have survived and are available in a handful of libraries, private collections, and research institutes throughout Europe and the US. It is worth noticing that up to 1977, the artistic direction of Discos Qualiton was mostly the result of the expertise of Ivan Cosentino as a musician and recording engineer, while the publishing, editorial presentation, production, and marketing was carried out by Nelson Montes-Bradley.
