About the start of the industry of slate disks or disks the master Chacón expressed 1 : I have 10 disks made with the master Habichuela for the company Odeón 2. They paid me 10 thousand pesetas 3 . I did not like the pieces after exposing them. Please believe that those disks made me crazy because they went around the entire world [...] In the year 1913, I recorded 10 disks with Ramón Montoya for an American company 4. They paid me 10 thousand reales 5. The disks turned out well. They are 2 malagueñas and soleares. The company decided to record more but I have not received any notice since then. 6

The growth of that new offer captures a new and numerous audience who feels attracted by many and good artists who were performing there.
