“Vive” by Elston Torres will make you cheerful
I’ve all the time considered Cuban-American singer/author/ producer because the “King of Love songs” due to his songs “Nearer Tonight “ and “A Good World”, amongst others. However his new tune/video “Vive” with Los Reggae Monks jogs my memory that he’s completely versatile, with songs starting from heartbreak to political. There are not any boundaries to his expertise.
This s precisely the sort of tune and video we’d like proper now – glad. It brings us photographs and lyrics about individuals having fun with life, caring for one another, having enjoyable, being themselves – about issues which can be good on the planet. It simply dances alongside, carrying us with it, smiling, grinning, laughing – feeling that is going to be an excellent day. The artist says he wrote the tune to remind us to embrace the current, reside with pleasure and objective, and belief oneself, encouraging unity and love past variations
I particularly just like the lyrics by Elsten Torres/Emil Temeltas/Raul Ramirez to reside life with pleasure. Kind of like being right here in Mexico:
Ask… the universe provides you
Search… and also you’ll discover it
Shout out… the world will hear
Stay in case you’re not right here tomorrow

Particular kudos to make-up artist Alisha Renee who will need to have had a good time with the spray paint.
