personal notes Antonio, “My love, my accomplice and everything.” You know that without you I would have never given birth to this album. Thanks for taking care of me and protecting me in my career and in life. Your courage inspires me. Your strength sustains me. Your love saves me.

Pepo, Thanks for making me reflect when I am most impulsive, for giving me the accuracy of a laugh when it seems less propitious and for sharing with me what’s learned and lived.

To my parents, William and Nidya, Sculptors of my spirit, Your lives are mentors of mine. The love you have given me is my strength and my joy. I owe you more than a lot, EVERYTHING.

Jaume, you are a genius and a true friend. Thank you and all at Laiguana for welcoming me as part of your family.

To Tonino (Super Tony): Thank you my guardian angel, mi hermano y amigo.

Donnie, your vision and instincts are so valuable to me.

“Maestro” Gustavo Cerati, for you a THANK YOU in all caps! Looking at you making music is more enjoyable than going to the best spa. Being your friend and working with you has been a “total” luxury. To Carlos Santana, you are such an inspiration as an artist and as a human being. You honor me bringing your light and your spirit to this project. Thanks forever! Rick, for making me believe in my music when I doubted, for "Hafiz" and especially for your friendship. Thanks! Ceci, or rather Saint Cecilia? If there’s a woman who works harder than me, it’s you.Thanks for caring about my career as much as or more than I do, for being there in the delivery room with your intelligence and passion. Thank you for being "manager" and "friend."

Aito, thanks for coming to my aid with your charisma and sensibility.

Farra, this couldn’t have happened without you. You rock!

Steve, thanks for holding the front lines. Many, Many Thanks . . .
