El edificio

The song *El edificio* by Bacilos, with its 4 minutes and 9 seconds duration, immerses us in a sound distinguished by the particular use of acoustic guitars. The group, formed in Miami, Florida, United States, was characterized by integrating a variety of Latin rhythms such as salsa, rumba, vallenato, trova, Cuban son, samba, and bossa nova, but with a distinctive approach that made them unique.

This track is part of the album Caraluna, released in 2002. That same album was recognized with a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album and, in addition, received a Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album Duo or Group. The members of Bacilos, Jorge Villamizar from Colombia, André Lopes from Brazil, and José Javier Freire from Puerto Rico, created a sound that resonated in places like the Americas and Europe, including Spain.
