Vida Cotidiana (transl. Everyday Life), is the tenth studio album by Colombian musician Juanes. It was released on May 19, 2023, through Universal Music Latino.[1] A deluxe version with two bonus tracks was released on September 29, 2023.[2]
The album marks a return to his rock roots after his two previous original albums experimented with new genres. Juanes told Rolling Stone, "I realized I needed to go back to my natural way of making music. This is who I am."[3]
Vida Cotidiana was written during the COVID-19 pandemic, which Juanes stated helped to connect him with the reality of his home.[4] The majority of the album reflects on Juanes' relationship with his wife and children: accustomed to spending long periods of time away from home due to his career, Juanes was living with his family 24 hours a day for the first time due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. He also used the time to take virtual lessons, studying guitar with Tomo Fujita [ja] from Berklee College of Music, harmony with Guillermo Vadalá [es], singing with vocal coach Eric Vetro, and poetry
with Alexis Díaz Pimienta [es].[5]
