Quién Dijo Ayer

The album Quién Dijo Ayer, released in 2007, represents a turning point in Ricardo Arjona's discography. More than a simple collection of hits, this work was conceived as a reinterpretation of his own musical legacy, exploring different genres and collaborating with a variety of artists. The production, which involved Arjona, Tommy Torres, Dan Warner, and Lee Levin, sought to give a new breath to already known songs, transforming them with arrangements ranging from ska to jazz, including more intimate versions with piano and flute. This project also marked the end of his tenure with Sony Music before joining Warner Music Group.

About the album

Quién Dijo Ayer, according to DoReSol

Within Quién Dijo Ayer, several reinterpretations stand out that capture the essence of the project. The track "Quién", for example, was presented with a music video filmed in Las Vegas and achieved notable reception, reaching fourth place on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs chart. Another important single was "Quiero", which ranked eighth on the same chart and reached twelfth position on the Hot Latin Songs, accompanied by a video shot on the beaches of Samaná. The collaboration with Panteón Rococó on "Si el Norte Fuera el Sur" gave a ska twist to the song, while the version of "Jesús, Verbo No Sustantivo" featured the participation of Argentine jazz musician Fernando Otero. The version of "Historia de Taxi" was transformed into a salsa piece with Marc Anthony, and the re-recording of "Realmente No Estoy Tan Solo" with Sandro became one of the Brazilian artist's last recordings.

The reception of Quién Dijo Ayer was mostly positive, with some critics calling it one of Arjona's most outstanding works. Commercially, the album performed well, reaching the top positions on charts in Argentina and Mexico, in addition to appearing on the Latin Pop Albums chart in the United States. The album received various certifications in countries like Argentina and Mexico. As recognition for its proposal, Quién Dijo Ayer received nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards 2008 and the Billboard Latin Music Awards. At the time, Arjona described the album as an exploration of the past that defines the present, rather than a simple compilation, and noted that the new versions, although initially conceived with a certain informality, ended up being a very carefully crafted work thanks to the producers' efforts.
