Following Guaco 91 the band realized they needed to wean off their image as a gaita group because it meant they could only gig consistently from September to January. Gutstavo Aguado made the decision to stop performing gaitas on record. There was a problem though: he had made a promise to the Virgen de Chiquinquirá (the ruling deity of Zulianos and gaiteros) early on his career that he would include at least one gaita per record. So he made a compromise: he would record 3 records of straight ahead gaita in homage to the Virgin, two of them being double albums. These albums are an excellent way of getting into the classic gaita repertoire but they are Guaco albums in name only: they were first and foremost a passion proyect of Gustavo Aguado. Some Guaco members were involved in the recording (likely on the lush backing vocals) but also various session musicians.

This one was more of a group effort and it features around half the actual band with little use of session musicians. The album is more focused on uptempo and good-time tracks. Former piano player José Luis García makes a comeback and contributes piano and coros. The conga playing and percussion on the album is exquisite.
