About the song
Martin Luther King said that: “If we have not yet found a reason why it is worth dying, we have not yet found our reason for living”. A purposeful life in which we know why and with what intention we spend the time we spend our little existence on earth is a more complete and fulfilling life. This is the story of a man who, since he was born, knows that despite the difficulties of life he is loved, and that Love is what drives him and leads him to be a person without bitterness, happy with his life and catalyst of joy in others. Someone who knows that he will fight the good fight and that when he has finished his career he will have kept his faith, his hope and his light.
“Hoyo Hoyo”, which means welcome, is an invitation to a life with purpose, a life that does not look at circumstances but looks outside the self-centered box of our perspective, seeking solutions instead of focusing on problems, finding in the love for others, your reason for living. It has rock, it has soul, it has gospel, it has fun, the candor of children’s voices (my daughters) and it ends in a cathartic way with words that are almost “prophetic”.
