This album represented the definitive explosion of the band towards a mass audience, reaching all the radios and nightclubs in the country. Recorded at Del Cielito studios, the sound is more polished and accessible, although without losing the rock essence and the cryptic lyrics of Solari. The album explores themes such as fame, power, and the decay of values in the new era of unbridled consumption.
It contains monumental hits like 'Mi perro Dinamita', 'Un poco de amor francés' and 'Tarea fina', songs that transcended the realm of rock to become part of popular culture. Sergio Dawi's saxophone solo on several of the tracks became a trademark of the ricotero sound of the nineties. Despite the massive success, the group maintained its policy of no advertising and total independent management.
It is one of the best-selling albums in the history of Argentine rock, consolidating Los Redondos as a sociological phenomenon rather than a musical one. The tour for this album filled stadiums and theaters across the country, demonstrating that the mystique remained intact despite the exposure. Its importance lies in having achieved commercial success without betraying any of its fundamental principles.
