Historia de taxi

The song Historia de Taxi, with its duration of 6:42, immerses us in a narrative that strays from the more polished perspective that would characterize later works by Ricardo Arjona. This track, part of the album Animal Nocturno released on February 9, 1993, captures a more bohemian and rebellious spirit. The way the lyrics are presented in this stage of his career, as perceived in Animal Nocturno, differs from his more well-known works, offering a vision of the artist that may prove fascinating to those exploring his discography further, maintaining that "everyman" essence that informs many of these compositions.

Animal Nocturno, the fourth studio album by the Guatemalan singer-songwriter, was published in 1993. Throughout his career, Ricardo Arjona has explored various genres, from ballads to Latin pop and rock, also incorporating influences from Cuban, Tejano, and norteño music, and even a cappella arrangements. His lyrical skill has allowed him to tackle diverse themes, from love to social issues such as racism, immigration, or religion. By 2011, Arjona had released thirteen studio albums, in addition to compilations and singles. Several of his albums reached the top position on important charts such as the Billboard Top Latin Albums in the United States and in Argentina, demonstrating his reach across Latin America.
