“Charlie came to my house and we took gin and tonics,” said Arthur about collaboration. “We talked about the Magdalena river, where Cumbia was born. And I told him that the blues was born in the Mississippi river. What if the two rivers are?”

“This song is joy, no more joy, more joy. It is a song that joins uncompromising universes but very, very connected. The song sticks you. And what Arthur does in the piano leads you to ecstasy. This is something that these Irish Mars of Detroit have! “, Contributed to Vives.

Goyo, a great friend of Carlos and Arthur, was the “strawberry of the cake”, with his distinctive voice.
