Song meanings

edit
  • Auger wrote "Croatto" in honor of the singer Tony Croatto, one of his influences. Four years later, after Croatto's death, Auger sang the song in a concert in his memory.
  • Laureano wrote and dedicated "Encontrarte es una Historia que Hoy Deberían Publicar" to his wife, while Auger wrote and dedicated "Tu y Mi Ciudad" to his.
  • "El Asunto: Salcedo Sigue Siendo Mortal" is a reference to the Spaniard Diego Salcedo's drowning at the hands of the Taíno Indians of the island.
  • "Banderas" stemmed from some controversies that arose on the island concerning the use of national flags, and the division caused by the Navy-Vieques protests.
