Canto a la Vida concludes with festive music in the spirit of El Día de los Muertos from Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, United States, and Venezuela, and features composers Calixto Álvarez, Modesta Bor, Vicente Chavarria, Carlos Cordero, Nico Gutiérrez, Abundio Martínez, Astor Piazzolla, and Diana Syrse.
