[1] Downs enlisted Paul Cohen as executive producer, also working with Celso Duarte, Brian Lynch and Aneiro Taño.
Although its lead single ("Ojo de Culebra") was the only track to reach the US Billboard Hot 100, the follow-up singles "Perro Negro", "Yo Envidio el Viento", "Tierra de Luz" and "Black Magic Woman" enjoyed moderate success on the Hot Latin Songs,[4] World Music Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts.
After achieving international success in 2001 with her first English album, Border, Downs released a Spanish-language record as its follow-up (her first since 1999's La Sandunga).
"Ojo de Culebra" ("Shake Away") features Spanish singer-songwriter La Mari, and includes elements of Mexican cumbia music, flamenco and reggae.
The five track, "Yo Envidio el Viento" is a translation into Spanish of "I Envy the Wind" by the American singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams and has a ballad feel.
