In a triumphant return to Santaolalla's production, León delivered an experimental, fun, and deeply rock album that surprised everyone with its freshness and its ability to play with language and urban sounds. The title track, based on a wordplay with the vowel 'o', became a colossal and unexpected radio hit that put León back at the top of youth popularity.
The album alternates moments of pure rhythmic abandon with ballads of astonishing lyrical depth, such as 'La memoria', which quickly became the definitive anthem for the fight for human rights in modern Argentina. The recording was a display of creativity in the studio, using samplings, scratches, and electronic textures that coexisted perfectly with the traditional instruments of León and his longtime band.
Orozco earned Gieco recognition as an artist capable of reinventing himself infinitely without losing his identity or his non-negotiable social commitment before his loyal audience and international specialized critics. It is a brave and visionary album, a testament to the inexhaustible curiosity of a musician who refuses to stagnate in his past successes and always seeks the next step in sonic evolution.
