FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER CAREER, AMANDA MIGUEL SHINES IN LATIN AMERICAN FOLKLORE
“Suffering has helped me grow spiritually and the message of these songs helps the soul. We have to value the miracle of life, reflect and reconsider where we’re going as humanity. War must end; no more pain, no more ambition!!! As human beings we should help each other more, because we come from love, because se we’re created from that feeling that is the only one that should prevail.”
“Regarding ‘SÓLO LE PIDO A DIOS’, León Gieco, who wrote this unique piece, sang several parts of the song with me, delighting us with his voice and harmony. He’s a happy man, and it was very beautiful to share this moment with him.” ~ AMANDA MIGUEL

Miami, FL. (March 8, 2024) – Many of us have listened to songs that touch us with their message and make us think, “I only ask God that war doesn’t leave me indifferent. It’s a stern monster that takes innocence away from people”. This line from the song is forceful, like a request, like a prayer, like something that motivates us to continue having faith in men. Today, more than ever, it’s important to cherish these messages in order to nourish our souls. “SÓLO LE PIDO A DIOS”, a masterful collaboration by Amanda Miguel and Argentine singer-songwriter León Gieco, takes on new life through the voices of two legendary artists.
Today, audiences will be moved by this powerful song, available today on all digital platforms. Simultaneously, the accompanying video, directed by the filmmaker Raúl Ramón, will visually immerse audiences into one of the most fantastic places on earth, the gigantic salt flats of northern Argentina. The idea of shooting it in this natural setting was from Ana Victoria Verdaguer, who convinced her mother to explore this and many other wonderful landscapes that her home country harbors.
Most recently, “Todo Cambia” was released at the end of February and is another celebration of a classic gem true to its genre. “Life is a constant change. It brings with it learning, self-discovery and growth; however, it doesn’t mean that our love for people, for places, for memories changes. My love for Argentina doesn’t change, no matter how far away I am, neither the memory nor the pain I feel for my country and its people. Since I was a little girl, I admired Mercedes Sosa, and I was fortunate to enjoy her art in the film ‘Armonía’, and sometimes in the theater, led by maternal grandfather Isidro Samso (Gaimán, Chubut, Argentina). Many years later, I was able to meet her and witness her great humanity. This song is also a tribute to one of the GREAT ones who makes us dream, an angel with a voice that gave us life,” added Amanda, while gazing upward and reminiscing on memories that enriched her both as an individual and as an artist.
Without wavering her love and devotion to Mexico, the Latin GRAMMY® honoree of the Musical Excellence award wanted to share with people her most personal side, her essence, her roots and her memories. It was through the inspiring and evergreen, classic songs she heard as a young child that she decided to embark on a journey to produce a body of work that would make a significant mark in her musical trajectory, hence making her debut in Latin American folklore.
This musical gem that reaches the soul like a poem is part of the album “YO SOY” (I AM) that will be released in May.
SHARE THE MESSAGE OF COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE THAT WE NEED TODAY: (Translation for “Solo Le Pido a Dios” Lyrics)
I only ask God
May the pain not be indifferent to me,
May dry death not find me
empty and alone without having done enough.
I only ask God
May the unfair not be indifferent to me,
Don’t slap me on the other cheek
after a claw scratched me this luck.
I only ask God
May the war not be indifferent to me,
He is a big monster and he stomps hard.
all the poor innocence of the people.
I only ask God
May deception not be indifferent to me,
If a traitor can do more than a few,
May those few not easily forget it.
I only ask God
May the future not be indifferent to me,
The one who has to leave is hopeless
to live a different culture.
I only ask God…
