Ojalá que llueva café

The impact of Ojalá que llueva café was immediate and notable. Songs like "Visa para un Sueño", with its rock and blues feel, and "La Gallera", which addresses social issues with an energy close to gospel, resonated greatly. But undoubtedly, the one that gives the album its title, "Ojalá que llueva café", stood out as an anthem that reflected the realities of the Dominican countryside people. The video for this song, directed by Peyi Guzmán, is considered one of the best in the history of Dominican music. This album not only consolidated Guerra as a key figure in Latin America and Europe but also marked his first major commercial international breakthrough, reaching the top of charts in several countries and selling millions of copies.

The production of this record was also marked by significant moments. Before the recording sessions, singer Maridalia Hernández left the group to pursue her solo career, being replaced by Marco Hernández and Milagros Taveras. Tragically, during a tour in Venezuela, percussionist Ángel Miro Andújar, known as "Catarey", died in a bus accident in 1988. After this event, Milagros Taveras also left the group. It was Bienvenido Rodríguez, president of Karen Records, who encouraged Guerra to move forward, suggesting that recording music would be the best tribute to Andújar. Thus, "Ángel para una Tambora" was born, dedicated to him, and Juan De la Cruz was incorporated on percussion. The main song, "Ojalá que llueva café", released in June 1989, featured the participation of the children's choir "Retoños", where Laura Rivera Taveras sang.
