Top Bolivian rental and production Company Spectrum, based in Cochabamba in the
centre of the country nestled in a valley amidst the magnificent peaks of the Andes
mountain range has invested in 12 x Robe LEDBeam 1000 fixtures and 16 x Pointe
multi-purpose moving lights.
Purchasing a premium brand like Robe helps establish Spectrum as one of the most
significant and serious players in the Bolivian production industry.
The company works across all sectors and is particularly well known as a lighting
provider for concerts, festivals, tours and live events as well as TV and theatre
productions and corporate activations.
Spectrum’s owner Gonzalo Hermosa is a well-known singer / songwriter, successful
composer and founder of famous Bolivian folk band Los Kjarkas. He has long had a
vision of driving the quality of production for shows, tours and events in the country
upwards to new levels of excellence.
He and son Huascar decided to purchase Robe products because they want
Spectrum to be the best and the “go-to’ option for lighting professionals and leading
Bolivian productions that care about the core values of how their shows are staged.
Gonzalo’s vast experience of first-hand stage performance as an artist gives him a
great perspective and a very clear idea of what does and doesn’t work, and the
types of equipment and effects that will transform a stage show from “standard’ to
one a truly exceptional experience… and this is what he wanted for Spectrum.
They conducted a large amount of research before making the commitment to one
manufacturer.
Huascar initially saw both Pointes and LEDBeam 1000s in action on other events in
Latin America and was suitably impressed, and he also spoke to several friends and
colleagues about these and other fixtures to get a fuller picture of how the brand is
perceived.
Gonzalo likes the LEDBeam 1000s for their fabulous fat-beams and smooth colour
mixing, functions which are essential for any show.
They also met with Guillermo Traverso, Robe’s Regional Sales Manager for Latin
America who added his product knowledge into the equation when discussing the
best long-term solutions for the company.
“The design and ergonomics of both types of fixtures is good and they are also very
practical to use’ stated Gonzalo, adding, “Their small size and light weight make
them ultimately portable which is another great asset, and one that reduces truck
space and costs!’
By combining creativity with quality and the right products, artists can produce
great shows, a strategy that has positioned Spectrum as a pioneer in illumination
throughout Bolivia and across the rest of Latin America.
“Many of the results have been thanks to utilizing Robe’s technology which is
helping us to realise and deliver more imaginative and interesting shows for our
clients,’ he concluded.
