Review

Jorge Drexler is an Uruguayan composer and singer with a long professional career linked to music and the arts. During his career, he has recorded thirteen studio albums and has given concerts all over the world. During this time, his work has been awarded an Oscar (2005), five Latin Grammy's (2014, 2018), a Goya (2011), and a Silver Biznaga, among other recognitions.

A doctor by training, in 1995 he decided to leave his life in Uruguay behind and travel to Spain to dedicate himself fully to music and composition.

This is a romantic yet simple song. It is soft and slow. The lyrics are direct and unique but brilliant in another way. Maybe that is why this is one of the most popular songs of the artist and is also a song that is installed in Latin culture as one of the sweetest songs ever.
