With the acquisition of his own recording studio, Jairo begins to be more of a perfectionist and finishes recording several days even until 8 a.m. in the morning. Here is the history of some topics:
One of the most complicated songs to perform, since Jairo Varela did not like any of the choirs that were recorded, so he repeated it over and over again. In the early hours of the morning, one of the musicians asks the recording studio guard to buy pandebono and oatmeal. In the middle of the recess conversation, Jairo exclaims "... I was getting hungry, and the thing is that the pod is a matter of pandebono", which served as inspiration for the chorus of the theme.
All tracks are written by Jairo Varela.
