Translation by Ernesto Gutierrez Pino

Although Felix Ramos started his musical career more than five decades ago, he still has fresh in his mind his unusual beginning into art. One afternoon an amateur musician visits his house. That person tried to sing and play the song Quiereme mucho (Love me a lot), by Gonzalo Roig, but in vain.

Hemingway, a Man of His Time

By Maura Peña

Translation by Ernesto Gutierrez Pino
