“Vive” by Elston Torres will make you cheerful
I’ve at all times 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 music/video “Vive” with Los Reggae Monks jogs my memory that he’s completely versatile, with songs starting from heartbreak to political. There aren’t any boundaries to his expertise.
This s precisely the form of music and video we want proper now – pleased. It brings us photographs and lyrics about individuals having fun with life, taking good care of one another, having enjoyable, being themselves – about issues which can be good on this planet. It simply dances alongside, carrying us with it, smiling, grinning, laughing – feeling that is going to be a great day. The artist says he wrote the music 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 offers you
Search… and also you’ll discover it
Shout out… the world will hear
Dwell 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.
