45 rpm (Spanish: 45 revoluciones) is a 2019 Spanish drama television series created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira that originally aired on Antena 3 from March 18 to May 30, 2019. Starring Carlos Cuevas, Guiomar Puerta and Iván Marcos, the plot revolves around the establishment of a music label in the 1960s and the people involved inside the complex music industry.[1][2][3]
Disgraced music executive Guillermo Rojas discovers talented singer Robert and teams up with his assistant Maribel Campoy to launch Futura, an imprint of Golden Records which will focus on the modern music trends.
Maribel and Robert's connection becomes deeper just as his career begins to take off. Meanwhile, some of Guillermo's past mistakes come back to haunt him.
Maribel takes the helm in helping prepare Robert's concert at the iconic Circo Price, but an unexpected lawsuit involving songwriter Ignacio Betancourt spells trouble, not just for Robert, but for all of Golden Records.
The new majority shareholder of Golden Records tells Robert, who is getting ready to head off on a nationwide tour, to fake a relationship with Fanny to help promote the movie.
Ignacio is arrested, and his only hope to be released is Robert accepting to perform at a military party.
