With a career that formally began as a solo artist in 1996 after her time with the band Tijuana No!, where she composed the hit "Pobre de Ti," Venegas moved to Mexico City with the support of Café Tacuba. Her early works, Aquí (1997) and Bueninvento (2000), produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, received praise in the Mexican rock scene. It was with Sí (2003) that she consolidated her fame in Latin America and Spain, and later, with Limón y sal under the Sony & BMG label, she expanded her international reach and garnered numerous accolades. The recording of Limón y sal featured the participation of engineers such as Juan Blas Caballero, Ignacio Castro, Damián Nava, and Pablo López Ruiz, while the mixing was handled by César Sogbe.
