Moments Worth Listening For
The hauntingly sparse opening of Tonada de luna llena where his voice mimics the lonely call of a herder.
The lush orchestral swell during the chorus of Contigo en la distancia that feels like a classic film score.
The rhythmic playfulness of Rumba azul where the vocal percussion mimics a heartbeat.
