Background

After the release of Musas and her participation on the animated film Coco, Lafourcade began working on the second part of the project. This album takes most of its structure from the first volume, including the sound and the appearance of original songs and classics from the Latin American music. The album includes the song "Un derecho de nacimiento", a song that was already released in 2012 and was originally written for the movement "Yo Soy 132".{{cite web|url=https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/articulo/metropoli/cdmx/2017/05/11/cinco-anos-del-yosoy132|title=A cinco años del #YoSoy132|work=El Universal|first=Jorge Luis|last=Cortés|date=May 11, 2017|accessdate=August 22, 2021|language=es}}
