In this episode Camilo is with the band explaining what's happened with this powerful record mogul and the fact that none of the radio stations are willing to play their record because he has given the stop order. They decide that they just need to find a way of getting heard which ever way they can. After all if people hear it somehow and people start asking the radio stations to play it; then they will have to air it  by public demand. So they decide to consider even hairdresser's  radio stations.  Any thing will do;  and they will show those powerful people that they won't be silenced!

After going to many stations and taking gifts and trying unusccessfully  Camilo finds a radio station that will play his record - and without any dubious fees or charges.  Success seems close by: but another music expert gets to know by chance and for him this is not good news.  An independant record being played for free on radio? cutting out all the producers, marketeers and all that a record company would do? what ever next: what if all the artists were to do that? what would happen to record companies? where would they get their cut from?  No way!

Encounter the real nitty gritty of the music business. The radio station listne to the record and is very positive, but  insunuates that money should pass hands to get them to paly the record. What does Camilo do? He's fuming at the shady deals that radio stations seem to see as the norm. Exploiting the artists and deceiving the listeners.  Ay caramba!

Now that the band are all happy with the record Camilo excitedly begins to cold call radio stations to get them to play it and so generate sales.   They're all in high spirits about the new record which they have recorded completely independently.  Things are looking up. Or: are they not?

After much doubting and thinking that the record was going to be a failure because Camilo had spoilt it by adding extra sounds: The xpert says that the record is good and innovative and that this is good in this industry. The band is over the moon and their fears are dispelled. However, the expert - Cuellar - does warn them that simply because the record is good it doesn't mean that it will be a hit. There is a long road between making a good record and marketing in a way that makes it a hit. Watch this space!

Behind Camilo's back the band members decide to call in a music industry expert to listen to the record. The band members are not sure about the record and call in the music events organiser (Cuellar) to get his opinion on wether the record can possibly be a hit even though it does seem quite an unusual one.  They are very doubtful of its possible popularity given that they themselves had chosen the other simpler version which had none of the noises made by the singer Camilo during  the recordings.

Camilo decided to press the version with the animal sounds in the recording. TO the dissapointment of the band members.

Excitedly they receive the box of pressed vinyl and the whole band opens the box excitedly! However, not all seems to be as they had agreed. Camilo has once more followed his instinct and not the band's wishes...
