The album features a collaboration with the American band Calexico recorded in Tucson, Arizona, and a cover of the Ry Cooder song "Paris, Texas." Recordings for the remainder of the album took place in Paris and Buenos Aires.

The first single off the album was "Diferente", the second single was "Mi Confesión". The third single was "La Vigüela".
