Background

It took a little more than two years to create the album,[2] and Soledad has spoken on occasions to the press about the creation of the album.

Taking as a reference the work embodied in Raíz, a collaborative album released the previous year that united her with Lila Downs and Niña Pastori, Soledad confided during an interview with Télam, "I needed people to know where I wanted to go and could go. In Raíz we found this fusion thing that sounds like a hybrid to no one, it's like natural and it's what I expected. So now I decided to move forward with the idea of being able to mix pop with folk music of Argentine and of all of Latin America. With this album I was discovering what things are better. Instead of taking songs from here to there, I looked for songs from everywhere to take them to another place".[3]

In that same Télam interview, speaking about "Aleluya", Soledad said, "Matías told me about this song, I did the translation of the lyrics and we turned it into the style of folk music from the north of Argentina, and only later Matías let me listen to the versions of Cohen and Jeff Buckley that are so moving they make your blood run cold."[3]

Speaking to the press at a reception in a mansion in the Núñez neighborhood, in the north of Buenos Aires, Soledad revealed how she invited Carlos Santana to perform on the album: "What I did was send him an email, telling him a little about the aim of the song because for us the guitar is fundamental and I always had the fantasy that he would record on some album. Maybe it was crazy, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity."[4]
