Early Life and Education

César Miguel Rondón was born on November 18, 1953, in Mexico City, Mexico, where his parents, diplomat César Rondón Lovera and his wife lived during the Marcos Pérez Jiménez dictatorship.

The family returned to Caracas shortly after the regime fell in 1958. Rondón grew up in a cultured, politically aware household that valued both diplomacy and the arts.

He began studies in philosophy at the Universidad Central de Venezuela and later graduated in social communication from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, training that would serve as the foundation for his lifelong career in media and letters. He is of Mexican ethnicity and his religious background is not disclosed.

Career

César Miguel Rondón entered the world of communication in the early 1970s, writing advertising copy and quickly moving into radio and television scriptwriting.

While still in his twenties he became one of Venezuela’s most successful telenovela writers, penning hits such as Estefanía, Emilia, and La dama de rosa alongside José Ignacio Cabrujas and other members of the legendary RCTV stable.

At the same time he developed a parallel career in cultural journalism, publishing essays and chronicles that revealed his deep knowledge of Caribbean music.

In 1979 he released El Libro de la Salsa, an instant classic that remains the definitive Spanish-language study of salsa’s history, personalities, and social significance; the book has been reprinted numerous times and was substantially expanded in its 2008 edition.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Rondón hosted highly rated television programs and wrote columns for major newspapers, but radio would become his most enduring platform.

His morning interview and commentary show on the Circuito Éxitos network (formerly Circuito Unión Radio) has been a daily fixture for decades, blending rigorous political analysis with cultural insight.

César Miguel Rondón has continued to host one of Venezuela’s top-rated radio programs while maintaining an active presence on digital platforms.

He has published several additional books, including Túneles de libertad (about Venezuelan political prisoners) and collections of his chronicles.

Forced into exile for several periods due to the country’s political situation, he has broadcast from Miami and Madrid yet always returns when conditions allow.

His influence on generations of journalists and his role as a chronicler of both Venezuelan public life and Latin popular music remain unrivaled.
