In his autobiography he tells a story I love.

While writing 100 Years of Solitude he listened to The Beatles' A Hard Day Night album on repeat. After the book was published he received a letter from a group of Mexican college students who asked him if he was listening to A Hard Day's Night when writing the book, because they felt the album in his words.

What a nice story, thanks for sharing. Which autobiography is this one you are talking about? I loved 100 Years of Solitude...

I think probably OP is referring to "Living to Tell the Tale" which is the only autobiographical work Marquez wrote.
