Gaul from Porto surrendered to the rhythm and the greedy rhythm of protest and fun. I have a happy heart and go back to the classics, with new arrangements and adapted to times that sometimes seem complicated, but, oh, the music again. And some artists delighted with the food in Puerto de la Cruz, which, in their own words, was the best of the entire tour. These people know.
