His whole career (which turns 10 this year) has been based in the overcoming of obstacles, Fonsi had no problem in getting away from the recording studio and taking some time off after the big success of his last album PASO A PASO. It took him three years to create and develop this new album, which is without a doubt the most international one in his discography. The fan base of this Puerto Rican artist is so massive, that it has earned him various awards, including Best Male Pop Artist of the Year in the “Lo Nuestro” awards two years in a row and even the highest award, named Gaviota de Oro (Golden Seagull) in the important festival of Viña del Mar. His fans need not to worry, as this album promises a musical level as high, or even higher, as the one in his predecessors. LUIS FONSI has stated that those milestones, including his powerful presentation in the Latin Grammys next to the ZZ Top guitar player, Billy F. Gibbons, have giving him the trust necessary to realize that the music business is his whole world, just as he suspected since he was young. There are others who also have the same idea about him and have invited him to participate in powerful duets. This list includes Christina Aguilera, Laura Pausini, Wisin y Yandel, José Feliciano and Olga Tañón.
