The concert also brings to attention, the story behind the inspiration and creative process involved in this noteworthy composition of universal reach, that took place during the recent pandemic. Singer and songwriter Luz Elena Caicedo in her song, celebrates sorority and highlights women's continuous struggles for a more balanced and equal world. Sorority and music, two powerful tools to change the world.
