The project has been interesting, has presented some key lessons and unique challenges. Each music special is different for example, a message or single narrative must be conveyed in one hour with incredibly talented artists and the project must be completed in three months. This year we wanted to showcase women and their impact on the music of Puerto Rico through the story of a character who lost her inspiration to sing, portrayed by Isel Rodríguez. It is not until she visits a building called \"El Regalo\" that she discovers, through the singers and their stories, the inspiration to be able to capture her passion for singing,\" said Noelia Quintero, director and scriptwriter of the musical special.\n\nThe music special will air on Sunday, December 5 at 8:00 p.m. on Puerto Rico's leading television channels. Also on Sunday, December 5, it will air at 8:00 p.m. (EST) on Mega TV Orlando and Wapa America and on Saturday, December 11 on Telemundo New York at 11:30 a.m. (EST). Popular will once again broadcast the production for 24 hours through the website popular.com/ellas.\n\n\"It is an honor for us to create the music special. This year in particular we wanted to further our commitment to the empowerment of women,” said María Cristina González, executive vice president of the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs group. “Over the last 29 years, thousands of people have worked to bring these music productions to life and introduced, important pieces such as the song 'Preciosa' performed by Marc Anthony. It has also been a platform for opportunities for new emerging talent within the music industry.”\n\n“Ellas, Mujeres en la música” features Lucecita Benítez, Milly Quezada, Yolandita Monge, Nydia Caro, La India, Ana Isabelle, Mel...
