Everything I’ve done, everything I do, everything I continue to do—Dona Ilza is present, wonderfully present. Because she was always there in the moments—all the moments—Dona Ilza was always there for me, helping me in every way.
What a blessing, and thank God I’m here. And she is there, where God has taken her. But no one truly dies—the body dies. Our love, our spirit, our soul remain together. Everyone keeps pouring out.
I want to say that this recording, this album, was a gift—as always—a gift from God. When I arrived at the studio, everything opened up, ready to receive my music. I saw heaven on earth while making this work. It’s a piece that is a gift for all of you, from all of us here. It was our gift. For whoever wants it, and for the eternal matriarch, Dona Ilza.
