The place where my beginnings found the first applause, there in my beloved Maracaibo… that little Venice, that generous land, the Venezuela full of nature, contrasts and hope, is about to give birth, is about to give birth to a new nation,” said the singer-songwriter while showing a black and white image of himself.
