Boricua en la luna

The song tells the story of a fictional character who recalls his heritage, product of the Puerto Rican migration to New York.

He tells of his parents: a working-class father from Las Marías and an aspiring singer from Aguadilla, and how they migrated to the United States looking for better opportunities, resulting in his conception and birth on the mainland.

Despite their aspirations, the song tells of the struggles of Puerto Rican immigrants in the States, which results in the death of his father and the mother's failed career.

In the mid-90s, Puerto Rican rock band Fiel a la Vega began covering the song during their live presentations.

When they released the concert album, El Concierto Acústico, "Boricua en la Luna" was one of the singles promoted.
