Quiero dedicar este número—o mejor dicho, quiero dedicar esta pieza, que me fue entregada por uno de los compositores más famosos de Puerto Rico. Yo lo llamo mi padre, y ese es Tite Curet Alonso, quien me dio esta canción de entre cuatro temas que tuve la oportunidad de grabar con él. Se la dedico nuevamente a él. Después de esta, voy a enviar las otras dos para que la gente las escuche y realmente disfrute lo que hace un gran compositor cuando se crea música. ¡Gracias!
