Read The Houston Chronicle's Recent Cover Story / In-depth Q&A With Draco Rosa Draco Draco Rosa celebrates 'Vida': Musicians and singers often talk about albums being labors of love, passion projects they've created with almost no regard for commercial success. For Draco Rosa, the inspiration behind "Vida" is in its title. Life itself - and the looming possibility of death.
"For a while Draco Rosa was losing his grip on life, fighting a gritty battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, finding himself alone in his room, facing his own mortality...Now, 'Vida' is no longer a farewell for Rosa but another milestone in a long and award-filled career." - ABC News/Univision

"Draco's reputation as a serious artist has long been well established. But Vida is, literally, the album of his life. At least in my book, this is THE Draco Rosa album." - Enrique Lopetegui, San Antonio Current
"After fighting and winning the battle against cancer, Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and producer Draco Rosa is celebrating life with Vida, one of the most anticipated Latin music albums of 2013. The new production includes outstanding duets with some of the biggest Latin stars in the world... the good news is that Vida goes far beyond its own expectations... Draco Rosa was able to put together a group of artists whose diversity enhances the whole appeal of this production. ..Musically speaking, Vida offers a mature sound that is both reflective and mysterious... the overall quality of that sound is fantastic...One of my favorite things about Vida is its 'generosity' in terms of elegant musical arrangements. In fact, this is an album where every single song will surprise you in one way or the other. Draco Rosa not only has given us the opportunity to celebrate life but also an outstanding work that very likely will be among the best Latin music albums of 2013"-
