Santo Domingo. - The Colombian-Dominican singer-songwriter and writer Auro Sónico presented his third book, "Vuelve y juega", in a gathering held at Local 3. The activity brought together readers, artists, and friends of the author in a reception where the arts intertwined to give life to the universe proposed by his new work.
The master of ceremonies was Nicole Dupont, who led the evening with the grace and elegance that characterize her, highlighting the author's hybrid trajectory.
During the presentation, visual artist Nayssa Dumé, creator of the cover, shared her experience of the creative process, describing how the colors and strokes that gave visual identity to the book emerged from conversations with the author and from the recognition of the emotions that run through "Vuelve y juega".

Journalist and writer Patricia Minalla, responsible for the prologue, offered a literary assessment of the work to the public, highlighting that in this book by Auro, existential reflection and the urban gaze coexist; tenderness and criticism; the impulse to create and the pause that forces us to look at ourselves in the mirror of what we are and what we provoke in others. The evening continued with a brief recital in which the singer Anne Yvonne gave voice to the poem “Dawn” and Auro Sónico performed several of the texts from the book, mixing spoken word, performative reading and music. The closing was by the author himself, who recited and sang two songs included in “Come back and play”, leaving the audience with a feeling of closeness and artistic celebration. Among them, "Light World" stood out, whose video is available on YouTube, allowing attendees to connect with one of the sound atmospheres that dialogue with the texts included in the work. "Come back and play" is for sale in the virtual bookstore Tuslibrosencasa.com which ships throughout the country and will soon be available on Amazon, for the public that follows the creative commitment of Auro Sónico.
