This is the first studio album recorded by Rata Blanca after his return, having once again with Adrián Barilari on vocals. The album was received in a surprising way for their fans and the general public, becoming golden record and the band returning to the great success of previous years.
The most popular songs of the album are "Cuando la Luz Oscurece" (number one for three weeks in the ranking of radio stations of FM Hit and Mega) and "Volviendo a Casa" (number four for two weeks in the ranking of these stations).
"Lluvia Púrpura" refers, not to mention, the British band Deep Purple. "La Canción del Guerrero" was composed during the period of Saúl Blanch, in the late 80s, which tentatively be part of the first disc of the band, but left out; this album for Walter Giardino decided to revisit the issue and edit it. The acoustic version of "Mujer Amante" was included as a bonus track.
In 2013 it was re-created on 28 November at the Opera Theatre.
