The story behind my new song "la precencia":

It was a warm summer afternoon in the small town when the curious boy called Malik was rummaging around in the attic of the old storehouse. The attic was full of dusty boxes and forgotten objects. Malik searched the corners for something interesting and finally stumbled across a weathered chest. When he opened it, he discovered old sheet music, yellowed and marked by time.

The notes piqued Malik's interest, and he spread the faded sheets out in front of him. His little finger followed the staves as he tried to understand the melody.
Suddenly Malik was lost in his imagination. He dreamed of the Middle Ages, of brave knights and noble ladies. In his daydreams, he wandered through dusty streets, listened to people's stories and felt the weight of history on his shoulders.

In one of the old songs, Malik discovered the story of a city that sank into the sea. The people fought against the forces of nature. The fate of the inhabitants touched his heart and he could literally feel the tragedies.

Malik grew up over the years, but the sheet music and the story continued to accompany him. As a young man, he began to compose his own melodies on his guitar. The story of the medieval city, which ultimately sank into the sea, was reflected in his rumba rhythms. 

The melodies told stories of times gone by, of brave heroes and of a city that sank into the sea. Malik had managed to translate his fantasies into a universal language that reached hearts and transported people into his world.
