> So the talk-show host got together with her favorite 3 Latin American superstars to plan a special welcome for Reymar: Surprising Reymar with her three favorite singers on a bus upon her arrival from Venezuela in Peru.
> Why did the Latin American superstars agree to do it? "Because compassion doesn't know nationality," said one, adding, "We're all the same."
> So Reymar's 3 favorite singers put on disguises and got on the bus. In the meantime, the talk-show host used the pretext for Reymar to get on the bus that he wanted to record her journey from Venezuela to freedom by having her play her viral song live on various buses in Peru.

> You'll notice that after Reymar comes on the bus, starts singing her song, and reaches the chorus, her 3 favorite singers will surprise her by singing the chorus with her and taking off their disguises.
> Sometimes humanity is best communicated and felt through music, a technology that may be used to foster liberation but one that we often take for granted.
