Absolutely brilliant, Rafa. I loved your rendition of Hotel California but this tune is in a completely different universe altogether. Thank you for articulating what is deeply hidden in your soul...

A música e o foclore mexicaco tem coisas lindíssimas como esta. Existe uma que tem uma melodia inesquecível cujo nome não lembro que foi usada durante anos pela Coca Cola em sua publidade. A conheço da minha infância no Brasil.
