Featured Song:
Originally composed by Argentinian musicians Juan Sebastián Garay, Matías Adrián Torres and Betsabé Lourdes Garay, “Gracias” is a celebration of life and love and the importance of being thankful. “Oh song! Save me from the misfortune of passing through this life without giving thanks / Oh song! I thank you for the kisses I have given / The fruit, the market, the coffee, and the errands / Oh song! I thank you!”
