This album marked Fito's return to the big leagues after a period of uncertainty and having even considered leaving the country. It is a cinematic album, full of references to the Argentine reality of the early nineties and the arrival of Menemism. The production is lavish, with many guests and a varied instrumentation that includes strings and percussion.
Songs like 'El chico de la tapa' and 'Fue amor' became immediate massive hits, paving the way for what was to come. The album has the imprint of a 'great work' that Fito had been pursuing, mixing rock with touches of tango and epic ballads. It was his first work for the Warner label, which gave him a much stronger regional projection.
It represents Fito's definitive maturity as a chronicler of his time and of his own feelings in a universal way. It is an album that feels big, ambitious, and flows with a renewed energy from an artist who regained his faith in music. Its importance lies in how it consolidated his sound before the planetary explosion of his next work.
