We met Jorge Parra Jr. in MedellÃn during the recording of "La Tierra del Olvido." He recorded the cowbell on the song. The cowbell, sometimes considered a minor percussion, often plays an important role in Latin Music as it is sometimes the only instrument who plays the downbeat in the rhythm section.
