Azul

Azul by Cristian Castro, released in June 2001, was presented as his seventh studio work, exploring a sonic palette that encompassed Latin pop, bolero, Latin rock, and soft rock. The production, once again under the charge of Colombian composer Kike Santander —who had already collaborated on Castro's previous album, Mi Vida Sin Tu Amor from 1999—, sought to consolidate a musical proposal that would resonate with the public. The recording sessions extended between October 2000 and March 2001, covering studios such as Bernie's Studios, Moon Red Music Studios, MT Studios, Ocean VU, Outline Studios in Miami, and The Hit Factory in New York, suggesting a meticulous process to shape the album's sound.
