Aún te amo

In Aún te amo, Ricardo Arjona presents us with a musical letter that, despite its title, does not dwell on melancholy. The song, with a duration of 3 minutes and 33 seconds, is taken from the album Si el norte fuera el sur, released in 1996. What is interesting about this piece is how it integrates into a discographic work that sought to explore social and love themes from unconventional angles, as evidenced in other songs from the same album. The way Arjona approaches relationships and feelings, often with a reflective touch and sometimes with subtle irony, is what allows Aún te amo to resonate beyond a simple ballad.

This track is part of an album that marked a stage in the career of Ricardo Arjona, a singer-songwriter from Guatemala. Si el norte fuera el sur was produced by Sony Discos and Sony Music México, and featured the collaboration of internationally renowned musicians such as Luis Conte, Billy Preston, Abraham Laboriel, and Michael Landau. The album, released on August 20, 1996, had a good commercial reception, partly thanks to the popularity of the title track and other cuts that explored everyday life and human interactions. Arjona, known for his ability to intertwine stories and reflections in his lyrics, constructs a sonic space here that invites attentive listening, allowing each verse to unfold with clarity.
