The magnitude of this event has sparked great enthusiasm among prominent figures of the genre, such as José Virgilio Peña Suazo and Kinito Méndez, who will not only participate in the show, but have expressed their deep gratitude toward someone they consider a fundamental pillar in their respective careers.
This is one of the best gifts I could have received from music and from life, because Ramón Orlando was the first to give me an opportunity as a songwriter. He gave me my first push in music and I will never forget that. He is a genius and we have to go applaud him.

Ramón Orlando represents a role model. He is a master and a creator of styles. When he called to invite me, I felt as if I had been awarded the Gran Soberano. What people can expect is something tasty and many surprises.
