[ listen ]

Here's a nice song from Roger Colas, who was born in the city of Cap-Haïtien on the northern coast of Haiti in 1937. "Solamente Una Vez" is one of more than 700 songs composed by famous Mexican singer Agustín Lara, who you can read about here. You can find an oddly-translated Roger Colas biographical sketch here, and the brief liner notes from his 1971 Agustín Lara tribute LP are included below.
