The event counted the participation of ASCAP songwriters Nacho, B�rbara Mu�oz and Jorge E. Murgu�a with Mauricio L. Arriaga, and a special invited guest Coti. Opening the show was Nacho, showing an immense artistic disposition, singing his own songs, all the while playing both guitar and harmonica; he also produces and arranges his own music. Next up was Coti, considered one of Latin music's leading hit-makers. Coti recently enjoyed the U.S. release of his video for "Canci�n De Adi�s," the first single off his new album Gatos y Palomas. B�rbara Mu�oz came next, with superb vocal texturing, sweet, sensible and seductive on the stage. B�rbara is working on her first album, in which she shares compositions with great composers like other ASCAP notables Mario Doom & Amaury Gutierrez. Closing the show were Jorge E. Murgu�a and Mauricio L. Arriaga, a successful duo who have brought the Latin market a series of continuous hits, propelling them to the top of their field.
