In the song Cucamonga Dance, Charly García collaborated with actor Jorge Luz, who contributed his voice. This piece is part of the album Tango 4, a joint effort between García and Pedro Aznar. The recording of this album spanned from January to September 1991, and it was Aznar who handled the engineering at Overtone Studios, with the assistance of Peter Baleani on some tracks like Vampiro, Sólo Dios sabe, and Diana. The album includes original compositions such as Tu amor and Vampiro, the latter featuring Gustavo Cerati on guitars. Additionally, it presents Spanish versions of songs like Break It All by Los Shakers, titled Rompan todo and featuring Sandro, and God Only Knows by the Beach Boys, adapted as Sólo Dios sabe.
