Que canten los niños (Let the Children Sing) composed by him is considered a universal anthem to childhood, peace and hope. The song emerged in support of the work of Children’s Villages SOS and stands out for its message of childhood protection, moving for its call for unity and defense of the rights of the youngest around the world, like those children in Gaza, presently and in other countries. He composed the song after a visit to Aldeas Infantiles SOS, while in a tour through Argentina. Jose Luis Perales granted the copyright of the song to the organization.
Today it is an anthem for the defense of children, especially those who suffer, throughout the world.
