Quiero Vivir La Noche Contigo / Quien Te Quiso, Quien Te Quiere

Released in 1986 by Sonotone Latin Records, this 7-inch single captures Carlos Mata at the height of his career as a prominent Venezuelan actor and singer. Mata became a household name throughout Latin America during the 1980s through his lead roles in hit telenovelas, and his transition into music allowed him to capitalize on his romantic screen persona. The track was produced during a period when Latin pop music was increasingly finding cross-border success, blending accessible ballad sensibilities with the polished, synth-inflected production style common in mid-eighties Spanish-language pop.

The sleeve design and musical arrangement reflect the aesthetic conventions of 1980s Latin balladry, prioritizing a charismatic, accessible image that appealed directly to Mata’s vast television audience. While the record functioned primarily as a promotional vehicle for his broader musical catalog, it remains a notable artifact of the crossover success achieved by telenovela stars who leveraged their dramatic fame to establish recording careers. The release is regarded by collectors today as a representative sample of the era's mid-tempo romantic pop scene.
