Singles
editThe album's main single, "Voy Pa'lla" became a huge success as it was the song that started Santos's legendary career as an artist. It is one of the most successful songs of the bachata genre. He became the first rural bachatero to reach a mainstream audience with this single. It is one of his signature singles. The album also includes a bachata cover of the song "Tu Cárcel", a song by Mexican group Los Bukis from their 1987 album Me Volvi a Acordar de Ti. The lead singer of the band, Marco Antonio Solís, was one of Santos's inspirations. The cover is titled as "Te Vas Amor". Other singles include the songs "La Parcela", "La Passola", which also gain success on radio waves in Dominican Republic. The songs "Ya Encontre Mi Hembra" and "El Bohuco" were also released as singles.
