All songs written and arranged by Markolino Dimond.

This album – also released later under Angel Canales name as Mas Sabor upon the success of Angel Canales debut album Sabor – is all about Mark Dimond; the style of the music is distinct from other albums released under Angel Canales name.

All but two of the songs are slow paced – Cha Cha or Rumba speed. Ya No Tengo Pena in my opinion is the most striking of the slow songs – probably more suitable for Rumba rather than Cha Cha. Of two faster paced songs Brujeria and Aguardiente, Brujeria made salsanewyork.com list.

Approximately 5000 CDs were produced for the limited re-release.
