A Nicaraguan recording firm became interested in Canelo and invited him to record an LP ( Long Play ) alone . He accepted the agreement and the recording was made in Panama . Moisés Canelo 's song " Yo también soy sentimental " from this recording was heard on Central American radios in the seventies and early eighties . Another record label followed , this time he recorded other works in the city of New Orleans . Then he participated in the International Song Festival OTI Festival 1974 held in the city and port of Acapulco , in which Moisés Canelo represented Honduras with the song " Río viejo , viejo amigo " composed by Horacio Cadalso . Mexicans were delighted with the voice of the Honduran , so Mexico became the singer 's second home . Canelo interpreted his melodies in the famous Cardini Night Center located in Colonia Polanco . In 1970 Canelo in Honduras made a huge presentation at the Club Hondureño Árabe in Tegucigalpa . Afterwards , he was again asked to represent Honduras at the 1976 Song Festival in Panama .
