[11] When the construction of Lines 8 and 9 began, the decision was made to rebuild the station to improve passenger boarding and alighting.

[2] ICA built the line and its first and only section opened on 20 July 1994, operating from Garibaldi to Constitución de 1917 stations.

[11] Cometro built the line, and its first section, where Chabacano is located, was opened on 26 August 1987, operating from Centro Médico towards Pantitlán station.

Álvarez created "Canción de tierra y esperanza" (English: "Song of Earth and Hope") and dedicated it to his parents for Christmas 1986.

In 1990, when Mexican artist Marco Límenes was allowed to exhibit his kinetic sculptures at the station, he requested Álvarez's composition for the event.

[32] Álvarez said that it has "a continuous eight-note movement of moderately driving speed from which short melodic solos emerge for each instrument [...] although the piece is brief and in single movement, the rhythms, accents and melodic fragments that emerge from the perpetual motion background are intricately playful".

[33] Jacques Sagot wrote for La Nación that the composition converges with the pace of the station, at first with an "uninterrupted flow of repeated notes" and then with "whistles of the violin [evoking] the braking of the machine, the squeaking of the rubber [with] the arrival of the metro train".

[34] William Yeoman wrote for Gramophone that it is a "one-movement moto perpetuum" that "makes an ideal end to an enjoyable disc that offers some respite from the heavy stuff without sacrificing artistry.
