Del otro lado del sol

In the album Animal Nocturno, released in 1993, we find the song Del otro lado del sol, which, with its 4 minutes and 21 seconds of duration, presents us with a lyrical and musical facet that, according to reviews from the time, differed from later works by Ricardo Arjona. It is described as a sound with rebellious and bohemian tones, a perspective closer to the "common man" that, with later success, would evolve into a different lyrical and musical sophistication.

This record, Animal Nocturno, is the fourth studio work by the Guatemalan singer-songwriter, published on February 9, 1993. Ricardo Arjona, originally from Jocotenango, Guatemala, is not only known for his musical career but also for his past as a basketball player and teacher. His discography, which by 2011 included thirteen studio albums, one live album, and several compilations, has explored a wide range of genres, from ballads to Latin pop, rock, and more recent fusions. The particularity of his style lies in the depth of his lyrics, addressing themes ranging from love to complex social issues such as immigration, religion, or violence, as can be seen in songs like Mojado or Puente.
