Germán and Iván fondly remember the way they interacted with the singer-songwriter: “We had the great opportunity to meet maestro Armando Manzanero during the recording of his CompaSStage 2020 masters course, here at CDMX,” they recalled . The lens virtuoso duo assured that since arriving at his studio, he was “kind and considerate towards all of us.”
“The project we worked on was very important to him. He left his education as his last legacy, it is a chair on what it means to be an artist. He spoke freely and in detail about the subjects he wanted to teach and told many anecdotes We had everyone considerate, “They were plentiful.”

That day, they accompanied Manzanero backstage and put on a set for him, where they performed a memorable photo session: “We were able to live close together and realize he was an exceptional character,” they assured at the same time. They stressed that nothing seemed to be going wrong with their health.
Maestro Armando was in perfect condition in every way and we always worked very comfortably. He was in the best mood and told jokes that he said were “risky.” We wanted to make a series of unpretentious, honest portraits with him that would show him as we saw him: happy, proud and full
