"Así lo canto yo"
Que venga la vida also includes songs inspired by great musicians such as Así lo canto yo (This is how I sing it). “Totó inspired my musical enjoyment for the voice of “cantadoras” (old-fashioned songstresses) and for traditional Afro-Colombian music. Totó has opened paths as she has pushed forward and her voice sings about all of her battles, trails, joys and realities.” “I am from the river and come from the sun, I erase forgetfulness and bring warmth, I sing because it is my way to cheer up your heart.”
This song has been #1 for three weeks in Señal Radio Colombia's top 20. Señal Radio Colombia reaches 40 radio stations within the country.
