Background and legal problems[edit]

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]
