$14.99	Los 3 Ortiz DE COLORES A.R.O.CD1028 We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with the release of DE COLORES, dedicated to my wife, Luz Marina, with our daughters, Luzma and Michelle, singing my compositions as well as world favorites La Paloma and DE COLORES. Several songs were dedicated to my wife through our wonderful years together, now for the first time recorded with the original words written for her. Others were dedicated to friends, lands of the harps or just imaginary romantic scenarios some in English and others in Spanish: Waiting, Si quedara sin ti (If I Ever Lost You), Nuestros Sueños (Our Dreams), You Were a Dream, Danzón a Veracruz, El Susurro de la brisa (The Murmur of the Breeze), Mariposa blanca (White Butterfly), Villavicencio, Habanera Gris (Gray Habanera), Te regalo la luna (I Give You the Moon). Two instrumentals included in this recording are Waltz for a Birth, which I originally improvised in the delivery room during Michelle's birth, now playing with her as a harp and violin duo, and Iguazu, harp solo dedicated to the marvelous waterfalls in the jungle of South America. "Your new Los 3 Ortiz CD, DE COLORES, is exquisite." J. Evans, Avalon, NJ "The combination of harp and those two angelic voices is simply magic! There is no other thing like it anywhere. We had the additonal pleasure of enjoying your magnificent new CD all the way home to the San Fernando Valley - for once in my life, I wished the traffic was heavier so we could spend more time in the car!"
