The story behind
When you dive into Plaza Herrera, you encounter a sound that invites you to move. This track, part of the album Antecedente, was released in 1988. What's interesting is that this work by Rubén Blades, credited alongside Son del Solar, marked a return to musical roots for the artist. It is often compared to La Pistola y El Corazón by Los Lobos, another album that explored more traditional sounds.
Antecedente was well-received, reaching number 8 on Billboard's Tropical Albums chart. Additionally, it won a Grammy Award in the category of "Best Tropical Latin Performance". For this album, Blades handled the production, and his backing band, previously known as Seis del Solar, changed its name to Son del Solar. A notable change was the incorporation of trombones, which replaced some synthesizer parts, giving the music a more organic character. Blades had expressed his dissatisfaction with older studio recording techniques, feeling they distorted the essence of the music, and this album sought to capture a more authentic sound. The duration of Plaza Herrera is 4 minutes and 37 seconds.
