An extraordinary musician, and even more extraordinary is your faithful friend’s heart...Artists like you appear every thousand years. That’s why today we want to pay tribute to you. What you have done for our Colombia, neither politicians nor philanthropists [have] achieved. Thank you for rescuing our folklore and reminding us of what we were, what we are, and what we can be. You have brought a piece of us in every song from children, the elderly, and those who didn’t know our customs or spoke our language. And you have reminded us of how much we are worth, what we feel, and how strongly we can love. Your legacy is invaluable because it represents us all. Keep building it for us and fly high like a condor over the mountains! I love you, friend. We all love you!"

Me and my mom looked at each other like, 'What the [expletive] is he talking about?’ I don’t know why he said that or what he knew of me at the time. I hadn’t been acting at all. But he also said it with a certain weight, with a knowing that seemed so absurd to me at the time, but of course now, in hindsight, you’re like, 'How the [expletive] did he know?'"

That was how we played."
