"La Musica exists in many places--in the twang of a guitar, in the beat of a drum, even in the whistling wind and the morning bird's son. She brings color and life wherever she goes, connecting people to a grand harmony. And in the town of Santa Cecilia, she is everywhere. When La Musica discovers a boy with longing in his heart and no music in his home, she vows to help him find his passion."--Dust jacket.
