  • Es Amor

    A year ago equal civil marriage came into force in Costa Rica, a historic step in the recognition of rights for all. Today, with our song and animated video clip IT IS LOVE we want to celebrate this important milestone and sing to the world that love is always love. Based on three true stories that intermingle, IT IS LOVE recognizes the struggle of hundreds of people and organizations in Costa Rica in recent years and seeks to promote respect, love and solidarity among all people. The song and video clip were created collaboratively, in a process that involved more than 30 people including musicians, visual artists and entertainers.
