Song
"Let the wind guide you" - La Oreja de Van Gogh.
"Let the wind guide you" is the original song of the film created and sung by the group from Donostia-San Sebastian La Oreja de Van Gogh.
“From our beginnings we have had fantasized about participating creating a song for a film and, despite having received several proposals throughout the years, until we found out about this movie, we have not dared to take the step. A wonderful adventure, an ambitious project, a Basque production... the perfect occasion! For us it is truly an honor to participate in the commemoration of such a legendary event and that is why we have been inspired by the pioneering spirit of Elcano. For the first time we also have written and sung in Basque and English.”
