I took a solo trip to Perú back in 2016 that changed my life.
I met my teacher and friend Beto Martínez in a small town called Urubamba
in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. He welcomed me to his studio and taught me
this simple and irresistible song about a little flower that is full of life and dreams.
