At the OTI Festival
On 15 November 1986, the OTI Festival was held at the Municipal Theatre in Santiago, Chile, hosted by TVN, UCTV, and UTV, and broadcast live throughout Ibero-America. Pancho Puelma performed "Desde las nubes" in position 10, with Pancho Aranda conducting the event's orchestra. In order for the song to participate in the festival, it was necessary to shorten it to fit within the required three minutes, as it originally lasted almost four minutes. The song was not among the top-three places revealed.[8][9]
The festival was broadcast on TVN's Canal 7, UCTV's Canal 13, and UTV's Canal 11.[10]
