Mija Música: La nostalgia

In this episode, Gavilán visits abuelo Lolo’s other best friend: don Rafa, who owns a bookstore and is the neighborhood’s unofficial historian. He tells him how this community acquired a taste for a musical style as heavily nostalgic as vallenato. Plus, Gavilán finally understand what his abuelo in particular was pining for.
