About the album

Si el norte fuera el sur, according to DoReSol

The commercial impact of the record was significantly boosted by the title track, Si el norte fuera el sur. This song, with its playful premise about an exchange of roles between Latin America and the United States, captured the public's attention. Other tracks that stood out within the tracklist and invite exploration of the album are Noticiero, Ella y él, and Aún te amo. Each of these songs, in its own way, reflects Arjona's ability to tell stories and connect with his audience's experiences.

The choice of Sony Discos and Sony Music México as record labels for its distribution in 1996 positioned the album in a key market. The overall sound of the record falls within the pop genre, but with the lyrical and melodic particularities that Arjona has managed to imprint on his work throughout his career. The variety of themes addressed, from the social to the personal, makes Si el norte fuera el sur an interesting piece to dissect note by note.
