As is mentioned, pronounced, remarked, and showed by him in some of his songs "...En la Plaza de Majagual, Sincelejo..." Joe, did it concerts as young singer in this city, place, downtown.
1971-2000: Early career
In 1971 Arroyo had his biggest opportunity of becoming a nationally known artist. He was discovered by Julio Ernesto Estrada, the bass player and director of the band Fruko y sus Tesos and signed up with Colombian record label Discos Fuentes. He performed with the band for ten years until 1981 when he began his solo career leading his band, named "La Verdad" (The truth).
Discos Fuentes
Discos Fuentes is a record label based in Medellín, Colombia, South America. Founded in 1934 in Cartagena, Colombia, by Antonio Fuentes Estrada, Discos Fuentes was the country's first notable record label. The label was instrumental in introducing Colombia to such Afro-rhythm genres as cumbia, fandango, merengue, porro, and salsa. The label also helped forge the early careers for such musicians and composers as Guillermo Buitrago, Rafael Escalona, and Julio César Bovea.
Discos Fuentes has often been described as Colombia's version of "Motown", peaking in the 1960s and early 1970s. The label achieved a series of firsts for Colombia: the first compilation album (1960) and the first compact disc release (1987).
After the death of the label's founder, Antonio Fuentes Estrada, in 1985, the company expanded into video production and purchased several other music labels including Discos Tropical and Curro.
US distribution
In the United States, the manufacture and/or distribution of Discos Fuentes releases was eventually handled by Miami Records, a Miami, Florida-based label specializing in Latin American music. Formed in 1950 by Colombian immigrant, Carlos Diaz-Granados, Sr., Miami Records also managed the manufacture and/or distribution of Latin music for other South American labels as well as for such American labels as Columbia Records.

Hush Hush; Hush Hush
by: Joe N[Kevin McCall:]
Keke, you know I got yo, right?
And before I let you sing to them
With that pretty voice of yours
Let me clear something up
Came back love
Your momma said what?
Your sister said who?
Come on you see what they tryin' to do
It's impossible, but they still on a mission
To break up a happy home
Like demolition
Don't even listen
[Keke Palmer:]
Baby, tell me, you don't care what they sayin'
Boy you know me,
So they can just keep on hatin'
We're the only ones in this love
No one can take this away from us
And I know we got the real thing
Cause I feel it when you hold me, yeah
So I wanna know
What do they know 'bout love
What do they, what do they know 'bout us
And as much as they bring me up
The only thing that they know is
I've got you
Baby I got you
And you got me
So baby tell me why they wanna mess this thing up
Maybe, they be hatin' cause they wish they was us
They can't get between this love
No one can take this away from us
And I know we got the real thing
Can you feel it when you hold me, yeah
So I just gotta know
What do they know 'bout love
What do they, what do they know 'bout us
And as much as they bring me up
The only thing that they know is
I've got you
Baby I got you
And you got me
[Kevin McCall:]
First I greet you with a kiss on the lips
No special occasion, but your presence's a gift
They try to sink our relationship
But we cruising on a coast to Costa Rica
So don't trip
I fall in love with something new about you everyday
It ain't nothing like the real thing baby
You got me singing like I'm Marvin Gaye
Tyrese with a card a card to the sweet lady
Uh, match made in Heaven
Lucky that I had found you
I must have broken seven
Or eleven, one foreplay
I got you, you got me
[Keke Palmer:]
What do they know 'bout love
What do they, what do they know 'bout us
And as much as they bring me up
The only thing that they know is
I got you
I got you
I got you
Baby I got you
And you got me
They don't know
They don't know
And you got me
I don't care what they sayin' no
Cause you got me
I love you
And you got me
Forget 'bout what they saying
