A very good article; in order to reach a B rating it needs more categories and more importantly the first section, "background, recording and production" is way too short, only two paragraphs, it really should be broken down on more expanded sections.

Alright, I've added more categories and I'll go see if I can find more information for the first time, because I was having trouble finding it. Erick (talk) 21:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Erick, I'm very happy and inspired to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:
"In "Ayer" ("Yesterday") the singer finds a flower given her by a lover and yearns for him to return, since life is short." (1a issue)
Corrected to "given to her".
""¡Sí Señor" ("Yes Sir!") is another son track featured on the album." (I think the genre Son montuno should be linked here rather than later? Or it should be clarified.)
Son montuno is a subgenre of son music.
Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Please feel free to strike out any recommendation from this review which you think will not help in improving the article which is our main aim here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn♥16:51, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
