It was the last studio album recorded by the band before the death of Luca Prodan in December 1987, which gives it a mystical and melancholic aura. The record is more experimental and darker than the previous ones, with songs that seem to emerge from improvised jams in the studio and a dense atmosphere. It was recorded at Panda amid a climate of certain internal disintegration but with bursts of absolute genius.
It includes essential pieces like 'Mañana en el Abasto', one of the most beautiful and sad descriptions of the city of Buenos Aires ever written. Also notable are 'Lo quiero ya' and 'Crua Chan', showing that the band's rock power remained intact despite everything. Luca's voice sounds deeper and at times absent, reflecting his deteriorating health in those final months.
It is valued as the most mature and artistic work of Sumo, an album that moves away from radio hits to explore the soul of a unique band. It represents the musical testament of Luca Prodan and the abrupt end of a project that changed the way rock is understood in Argentina. Its legacy is the demonstration that truth in art does not need luxurious productions to move forever.
