Pau-Latina is the seventh studio album by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio, released on February 10, 2004, by Universal Latino.

Contributions to the album's production came from a wide range of producers, including Emilio Estefan, Chris Rodríguez, Toy Hernández, Marcello Acevedo and Sergio George.

She also revealed she wanted to collaborate with Manu Chao and Armando Manzanero, who composed the ballad "Tal Vez, Quizá", for her fifth studio album, Paulina (2000).

[2] Jorge Villamizar, lead member of Bacilos, told Billboard in September 2003, he co-wrote a track with her wife, Sandra Uribe, for Rubio's upcoming album.

[3] In January 2004, a month before the album's release, Argentine composer Ferra announced she and Reyli Barba wrote Rubio a song called "Amor Secreto", "a bolero, and the story is tender, very romantic.

For the production of the album, she collaborated with songwriters and producers Chris Rodríguez, M. Benito, Andrés Levin, Ileana Padrón, Coti, Marco Antonio Solís, Jorge Villamizar, Emilio Estefan, Ricardo Gaitán, Alberto Gaitán, Reyli, Tim Mitchell, Claudia Brant, and Richard Vission.

Rubio showed a style that highlights her roots as a Latin woman, although she added glamor to her outfits.

AllMusic editor Johnny Loftus viewed that "throughout Pau-Latina, there's an alluring scratchiness to Rubio's voice.

Rapsody reviewer Sarah Bardeen considered the album "brilliant" because "Rubio incorporates elements of rap, reggaeton, flamenco and ranchera while maintaining her own consistently feathery pop sensibility.

"[8] Likewise, Matt Cibula from PopMatters called it as a "fractured fairytale pop from some dimension where everyone gets laid all the time and no one is ever sad."

In April 2004, Rubio received her first certifications from the United States and Mexico, platinum and gold record, respectively, in Miami for selling 400,000 copies three months after the launch of Pau-Latina.
