TOCANDO NUESTRA CANCIÓN / THEY’RE PLAYING OUR SONG (New Spanish Cast Recording), directed and produced by global superstar Antonio Banderas, narrates the sweet irony and tender zaniness between an established composer and an aspiring lyricist. With a score by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager and starring Spain’s Miquel Fernández and María Adamuz, this romantic comedy navigates an unusual love story between collaborators as romance blossoms, conflict rears its head and comedic sparks fly.
