Background

edit

A 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

edit

Evan 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]
