Background

It was recorded in 1982, in order to be part of the soundtrack of the film of the same name, Vigilante, and in the process relaunch Lavoe who had been going through an uncertain point in his career due to his personal problems and drug addiction. For this, the directors of the Fania label decided to reunite the Colón-Lavoe duo, who had already achieved success in previous years. The songs did not go on sale that year due to Jerry Masucci's ambitious proposal to first release the film The Last Fight, starring Rubén Blades and Willie Colón, which would practically cost him the salsa empire created since the mid-1960s. The film did not see great sales unlike the album, which could finally be published in 1983 and achieved the goal of putting Héctor Lavoe back on radio stations.
