Paraphrasing the great Colombian writer Gabriel Garca Mrquez with one of his tittle books Love in time of Cholera, today we will be playing Love songs in these challenging times. From boleros, to romantic songs to the Latino songbook of love songs.
Fittingly we are presenting two of the songs of the movie based on Garcia Marquezs book Love in time of cholera. Shakira and Antonio Pinto First with Despedida, and the second song is a solo by Shakira with Pienso en Ti.
Great Romantics like Armando Manzanero, Camilo Sesto, Leonardo Fabio, Tania Libertad, Javier Sols, Maria Bethnia and Aracy de Almeida among others will be singing songs of love to soothe the soul.
