Jon Secada is celebrating 20 years in music. He is releasing a new song

Grammy's and to receive one, it was incredible, to be nominated, it was
incredible. To sing with Pavarotti was another phenomenal moment of my career,
seldom I have been full of anxieties, before going out to the stage, as that
night ”, he confessed.

feature the current release "I'm Never Far Away."
