Vera

At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico, Vera Caslavska endorsed her Olympic titles in gymnastics but also protested with dignity before the Soviet regime that occupied her native Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia). Today, September 15, prior to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of that sporting and social feat, I want to release this song as a humble tribute to a woman whose sports excellence and bravery in the face of injustice won the hearts of Mexicans and she created a deep bond with Mexico. Nothing better than the mariachi to celebrate your life, wherever you are, Vera. Performers: Roxana Río, Patricia Alcaraz, María Ferrina. Letter and Music: María Ferrina Arrangement: Ernesto Anaya September 2018 En los Juegos Olímpicos de México 68, Vera Caslavska refrendó sus títulos olímpicos en gimnasia pero también protestó con dignidad ante el régimen soviético que ocupaba su natal República Checa (entonces Checoslovaquia). Hoy 15 de septiembre, previa a la celebración de los 50 años de aquella hazaña deportiva y social, quiero estrenar esta canción como un humilde homenaje a una mujer que con su excelencia deportiva y su valentía ante lo injusto se ganó el corazón de los mexicanos y creó un vínculo profundo con México. Nada mejor que el mariachi para celebrar tu vida, donde quiera que estés, Vera. Intérpretes: Roxana Río, Patricia Alcaraz, María Ferrina. Letra y Música: María Ferrina Arreglo: Ernesto Anaya Septiembre 2018
