El hijo del Cacique is a Colombian telenovela that premiered on Venezuelan broadcast channel Televen on 15 October 2019,[2] and concluded on 11 February 2020.[3] The telenovela is based on the life of the late Colombian singer Martín Elías, son of Diomedes Díaz. It stars Milciades Cantillo as the titular character.
The telenovela was initially to be titled Martín Elías, el inmortal, but because the name and image of the singer belong to his two former ex-wives,[4] and because the telenovela is not based solely on Martín's life, since a large part would star Rafael Santos, the brother of the singer, the title was modified to El hijo del Cacique.[4] The telenovela story is based on the stories of the singer's brothers and mother and will take place in Valledupar and Bogotá.[5]
