“Viva la Vida” - World Art Day 2026- piano recording

Today (April 15) is World Art Day. Here is my piano recording of “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay

The title “Viva La Vida” was taken from Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's* final painting in which the words "Viva la Vida" were inscribed on a watermelon. Chris Martin had seen the painting while at the Frida Kahlo museum in Mexico, and thought it was a good title for a song. 

*The graphic on my shirt is of Frida Kahlo
