The song Frente al televisor, with its duration of 4 minutes and 31 seconds, is one of the pieces that make up Ricardo Arjona's sixth studio album, titled Si el norte fuera el sur. This album, released on August 20, 1996, became a success, largely driven by the popularity of its main theme, which humorously addressed the idea of a Latin America reversing roles with the United States. Within this album, Frente al televisor shares space with other notable compositions such as Noticiero and Ella y él.
The recording of Si el norte fuera el sur featured the collaboration of internationally renowned musicians, including Luis Conte, Billy Preston, Abraham Laboriel, and Michael Landau, contributing different textures to the album's overall sound. Ricardo Arjona Morales, born in Jocotenango, Guatemala, in 1964, is a singer-songwriter whose career has been characterized by a variety of musical styles, from ballads to Latin pop and rock.
