Mas Simple", which was interpreted with the vocals of Nil Lara while playing his guitar, evokes a desire for a return to simpler life. It is this simpler lifestyle that is almost disappearing in the throng of sordid ideologies and beliefs which torture the mind. "Vida Mas Simple" was an inspiration to go and find an alternative lifestyle that evokes relaxation and liberty. It is through the simpler things that one can attain personal liberty. "Vida Mas Simple" was a mixture of Cuban Trova, Bolero, and Folk Rock Music of the soft kind. In my opinion, this is one of Nil Lara's greatest songs for all eternity. "Vida Mas Simple" was one song that took over my soul.

Nil Lara was born in New Jersey to Cuban parents and lived in the USA and Venezuela. During his life, he managed to absorb the cultures of Cuba, Venezuela and the USA to create a truly new American music which defies classification. Unfortunately our world does not allow such independence. Regardless, he has prepared the path for future singers with album releases such as "Smile", "My First Child", "The Monkey", "Nil Lara", "Testimony", and "DA" and tours throughout North America, Europe as well as singing with such greats as Lenny Kravitz, Blues Travelers, and Natalie Marchant.

His music has even appeared in soundtracks to movies. One example is "Fighting For My Love" in the Scrubbs Soundtrack. "Fighting For My Love" is another song that evokes the realities of today's society. It reminded me of the days when I looked for true love until I found it in my current wife Marlene.

"My First Child" reminds me of my daughter Veronica and I have played this song for her. She likes it since she is my first [and only child]. The songs called "Baby", "Bleeding", "Crawl", and "Mama's Chant" are also excellent.

Anyone who wants to see and hear a true singer, song-writer for today's era should see Nil Lara. Nil Lara will be an artist that people talk about in the future when all other stars have long disappeared from the limelight. Why? Because Nil Lara and His Music ARE THE REAL THING WITH NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS!
