Golden Colombia was invited to an exclusive parranda (vallenato jam session with stories and anecdotes) by the composer Adrián Villamizar whose song Ciegos Nosotros (The blind ones are us) won this year's Best Song Contest. The son is a hymn to Leandro Díaz' poetry, the blind vallenato composer to whom the festival is dedicated this year. Leandro himself sings in one of his songs that God instead of giving him eyes to see the physical world, gave him los ojos bellos del alma (the wonderful eyes of the soul), and Villamizar is alluding to this in the chorus that goes: We are the blind ones/who do not see/the image of God in man.The song was performed at the parranda by the composer himself (guitar) and Carmen Gonzales, the blind 15 year old girl who also performed the song on stage in the competition with her fellow sightless Juan David Atencia (12).

The only way possible is the inner way. We can not go far away if we don't take the first step inside our soul... the garden where God frolics
