“When Cora Novoa came home, she came to compose a reggaeton with me, we wanted ”a reggaeton that Arca could do», and in fact she does. That song stayed in one place as I told you, but with one of the ideas that Cora brought, I composed ‘La Ternura’.
It comes from trying to find that urban electronic techno darkness, but passed by me. You hit the nail on the head 100% (laughs) In fact at first I sang it all the time over the reggaeton beat, although in the end I left it alone for that moment.»
