Me enseñaste

When Ricardo Arjona composed Me enseñaste, he did so thinking of a story that stemmed from the general idea of his sixth album, Si el norte fuera el sur. This album, released in 1996, ingeniously explored the idea of a role reversal between Latin America and the United States. The song itself, with its 4:43 duration, added to a body of work that included other tracks like Noticiero and Ella y él, but Me enseñaste contributed its own perspective within that thematic universe.

The recording of Si el norte fuera el sur featured the collaboration of internationally renowned musicians, such as Luis Conte, Billy Preston, Abraham Laboriel, and Michael Landau, contributing textures and nuances to the compositions. Ricardo Arjona Morales, born in Jocotenango, Guatemala, in 1964, was already known for his ability to tackle complex themes in his lyrics, from love to social issues like immigration or machismo, and this album was no exception, showcasing the diversity of his musical style which ranges from ballads to Latin pop and rock.
