Marita Belia, 41, explains that it all started in April 2023 when she saw a video of Ángel Di María's goal against France, narrated by De Paoli. "This is perfect for music!" she thought. That's how her project to combine Mariano Closs's narration with her piano was born, creating a unique experience for fans.

The pianist, who has lived in Miami for seven years, spends her time teaching piano to Latino children.
