The story behind
The song *¿Ahora quién?* by Marc Anthony, with its 5 minutes and 5 seconds duration, presents a facet of the artist that fuses salsa with arrangements reminiscent of his previous works. This track is part of the album *Valió la Pena*, where Anthony collaborates again with producer Sergio George, a musical reunion that had not occurred since the album *Todo A Su Tiempo* in 1995.
The album *Valió la Pena* not only includes new compositions but also reinterprets seven songs from the previous album, *Amar Sin Mentiras*, under a characteristic salsa sound. Additionally, the classic *Lamento Borincano* by Rafael Hernández is included, enriching the sonic proposal. This discographic work had an excellent reception, reaching the first position on the *Top Latin Albums* chart and earning the recognition as *Best Salsa Album* at the 2005 *Latin Grammy Awards*, as well as the *Tropical Album of the Year* award at the *Premio Lo Nuestro* in the same year. The artist's first name, Marco Antonio Muñiz Ruiz Rivera, born in New York in 1968, has become synonymous with success in genres ranging from salsa to ballads and pop. His career began by exploring hip hop with Little Louie, achieving a number one hit on the US charts in 1991. Subsequently, his transition to salsa under Ralph Mercado's RMM label consolidated his career, with hits like Juan Gabriel's *Hasta que te conocí*. His influence extended to Spain, where he achieved gold records with Bat Discos. A milestone in his career was his participation in Paul Simon's play *The Capeman*, whom he considers a master.
