The story behind
When you dive into *Todo y nada*, you encounter a bolero gem that Luis Miguel reinterpreted for his album *Segundo Romance*. Originally, this musical piece saw the light of day in 1957, written and performed by Mexican Vicente Garrido, and recorded by groups such as Los Tres Ases and Lucho Gatica. Luis Miguel's version, released in 1995, not only became a resounding success but also demonstrated the enduring relevance of this genre. It reached third place on the *Billboard Hot Latin Songs* chart and topped the *Latin Pop Airplay* chart, marking his third consecutive song to lead this latter category from the album *Segundo Romance*. This song resonated strongly in countries like Chile, Panama, and Puerto Rico, where it ranked among the top five most listened to.
This was not the first time Luis Miguel had been inspired by Garrido's work; he had previously performed "No Me Platiqués Más" on his 1991 album *Romance*. The recording of *Segundo Romance* took place in mid-1994 at the *Record Plant* studios in Los Angeles, California. In addition to the main production by Juan Carlos Calderón, Kiko Cibrián, and Armando Manzanero (who had already collaborated on *Romance*), the final mixing was handled by Craig Brock and Paul McKenna. The album, which continued the path of Latin ballads initiated with its predecessor, included eleven versions of songs released between 1934 and 1993. *Todo y nada* was recognized at the 1996 *BMI Latin Awards* as one of the most impactful Latin songs of that year.
