Sé que hay algo más

There's something about Sé que hay algo más that doesn't fade after the four minutes and forty-nine seconds it lasts. It's not just the catchy chorus that repeats like an echo, nor the mix of rhythms that sound at first listen as if they've always been there. What captivates is that feeling that the song is telling something the listener already knows, but it never fully names. As if the track revolves around a secret that everyone senses, but only the music manages to reveal without saying it outright.

The song appeared on Tratar de Estar Mejor, the album that in 1994 introduced him to a larger audience than his debut work. By then, Diego Torres was no longer just the kid who had debuted on TV with La Banda del Golden Rocket, but the artist who had sold hundreds of thousands of copies with a sound that blended reggae, ballads, and funk. The album was recorded in Buenos Aires, with Cachorro López at the helm of production, and although it wasn't the first to bear his name, it was the one that defined his style: songs that sound like an intimate conversation, yet with a rhythm that invites movement. Sé que hay algo más wasn't the most promoted track on the record, but it ended up being one of those cuts that people whistled without realizing it, as if it had always been there.
