Tumo orchestra's first contact with an internationally acclaimed artist was
brought about by a video of a jazz cover. It was of Grammy-nominated popular
Spanish female artist Vega's hit song "Mejor Manana". Vega watched the video
and wrote: "I love the iPad orchestra. So young, so talented! I enjoy their
smiles a lot as they play my song! Thank you! I always have fun seeing people
doing great things around the world!"
