Maleta de sueños

The story behind

Carlos Vives recorded Maleta de sueños as part of El Rock de Mi Pueblo, an album that came out in 2004. The song lasts three and a half minutes, and on the Last.fm website it has over fourteen thousand plays. The lyrics talk about travels, about memories and about taking what you have left from home. It's a song that you feel on your skin, as if you were carrying something that matters to you. The melody goes and comes, as if it were taking you to a place you're no longer in. It's a song that you can touch, that you can feel, and that stays in your head.
