Featured Song:

“Sueños” (Dreams), arranged and produced by Elie Massias, is an enchanting meditation on the power of imagination and hope. The lyrics envision a world where “your dream and my dream become reality” and where love, desire, and freedom are possible: “Dreaming a dream where it’s possible to love, to be, to go, to exist.”
