I’m not allowed to talk much about it. The only thing, and what everyone already knows, is that I was at a baseball game where they invited me to sing in a tribute to Fernando Valenzuela. He was there, or his team. Then they contacted me. I went and recorded without thinking it was going to be something so big. I didn’t imagine it.Yes, he came quickly and left. But it was something magical, like a dream.Well, I have all my prayers.
