It includes a duet with the Mexican actress and singer Lucero in the song "Lo Siento" in its Balada version. The first single "Yo Si Me Enamoré" in its bolero version was nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Tropical Song at the 2nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards on October 30, 2001.[2]
Background
editA few months after Dunbar's departure from the American salsa band Dark Latin Groove following their third studio album Gotcha! released in 1999, Sergio George suggested he start recording his debut album.[3][4]
Critical reception
editEvan C. Gutiérrez of AllMusic said, "Together with some other New York talent, the two formed the genre-crossing tropical group DLG, and in a matter of a few short years, cranked out three fantastic albums that went a long way towards turning Dunbar into salsa's up and coming bad boy. For Dunbar, going solo was a natural next step."[5]
