Hola Oscar, Queria contarte que estoy finalmente trabajando en mi disco y subi un par de temas que ya estan listos a mi Myspace. Se llaman: "El Borde De Mi Tierra" y "Ojos Azules". El primero es composicion mia y el segundo un arreglo de la composicion de la folclorista chilena, Violeta Parra.
Porfa, cuando tengas un minutito, escuchalos. Me encantaria tener tu feedback de mi nuevo trabajo.
