Music

Songs removed

Two songs that were originally on the album were later removed for not being up to the standards of the rest of the songs. "Mi profesor se está volviendo loco" described by Mauricio Jürgensen in "La Tercera" like a fast-paced rock, with a pulse like the song "La voz de los '80" from this album, which finally appeared on the compilation album Ni por la razon ni por la fuerza , and «Descubre tus poderes» described by Jürgensen as a disenchanted reggae that was written, composed and performed by Miguel Tapia. This was when Fonseca intervened in the group, deciding which songs were left and which ones were not. Narea and Tapia composed, but when it came to selecting the songs that were to remain on the album, González's were better and he was also the one who composed the most, Jorge himself pointed out, the exception being «¿Quien mato a Marylin?», Written by Miguel Tapia.
