"With a little help from my friends"

But he was not alone. For this new album, Yordano had the collaboration of a Venezuelan musician José Luis "Cheo" Pardo, ex-guitarist of "Los Amigos Invisibles", who served as co-producer and arranger, along with whom he worked for 5 years to bring the anthology forward.

"He was weak on the 1 hand and very vulnerable mentally (…) He did not have the free energy, only he did have the songs and he was composing," said the artist. And then at start Pardo took over much of the work, and as he improved, "the weight was balanced a niggling more."

His face was indescribable, says the sometime guitarist. "Is that like a squealer, Cheo?" … Auch !! The determination was: "show information technology to your married woman, your daughters and on Monday we run across."

The guitarist relates that "his neighbour" returned days afterward to the studio and said to him: "Ok Cheo, if it is okay I ready what you did, nosotros are going to make an album, I am in your hands with the music, but… Yous DON'T HAPPEN to change me a comma of my lyrics that if you are going to see me well "… and that's how information technology all started.

The sound of the Caribbean in New York
