At the 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the album won Best Alternative Music Album and Best Long Form Music Video while Carlos Campón, Ernesto García, Noah Georgeson, Demian Nava, Sebastían Schon, César Sogbe and José Blanco received a nomination for Best Engineered Album as engineers of the album.[4]
After the release of her previous projects, Las 4 Estaciones del Amor (2007) and Hu Hu Hu (2009), Lafourcade felt the need to explore new music with already existing songs instead of original songs. When working with Alondra de la Parra for a performance in Mexico City, she started to search songs from different composers to perform and end up finding a deep connection to Agustín Lara's work.[5]
The name of the album, according to Lafourcade comes from the way women were the main inspiration for Lara and how his songs made her "appreciate the beauty of women and femininity". The album is composed of songs from Lara featuring guest singers, to balance the themes of femeninity, Lafourcade decided that the guest singers would be mostly male.[6]
All tracks are written by Agustín Lara, except where noted.[7]
