"Solamente Una Vez" is a renowned bolero composed by Mexican songwriter Agustín Lara in 1941. The song's creation is attributed to Lara's desire to honor his friend, tenor José Mojica, who was retiring from the entertainment industry to pursue a religious vocation. Lara composed the piece as a farewell tribute to Mojica's transition into the priesthood. Soundscaping Source+4Frontera Collection+4Wikipedia+4Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
