        Dear Fran,
 this morning, while having breakfast, I listened to Radio 3, El Gran Quilombo. When I turned on the device a song was playing: Las Comarcales.

     This song has hooked me to the moment. It has very original lyrics and the music and voice of the singer are wonderful. It had been a while  —since Eurovision and Salvador Sobral— that I had not heard summat like this. I must tell you that I have been dazzled by the songs that have sounded like La Maravilla, Cumbia de Milagro or Nadie Se Va a Quejar. In his musical expression  —and finishing my breakfast— Victor Coyote reminded me Leonard Cohen, and I think I am not exaggerating.
     When the program ended I went to the Internet to collect personal information and, if possible, listen to his songs again and it turns out that he is a guy wearing a hat like the Canadian singer-songwriter used to wear!
     On his Facebook, I have also verified that he is an excellent cartoonist; a skill that he says he practices because he is very satisfied and because of the speed of the transition from idea to drawing. He exchanged some very interesting thoughts with the presenter of the program and that I fully share.
     Fran, below I leave you an internet address.
     Next Monday we enter Phase 2. From my open window I can hear the church bells. People start to go back to their own thing.
