Maria Hanneman writes about her presence at the Mexican institution: “In these difficult times the world has been living through, being safe at home has been essential to take care of ourselves. Being safe at home, and with the people we love, has been invaluable. It is this experience that I would like to share with everyone at Fundación Casa México in Spain. Being there, with all the people who attend, will be like being together in my own home with my family, sharing music”.
