Backed by the hit song "Mr. Trumpet Man", the album was an international success, being popular in the United States, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.[citation needed] The album's success enabled the duet to sign a contract with West Side Latino records, and leave Alegre Records.[2]
With their previous albums, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz had established themselves as prominent artists in the New York City music scene of the 1960s. Releasing Jala Jala y Boogaloo in 1967, the group achieved international success with hit songs such as Richie's Jala Jala. Following the success of that album, the group returned to the studio with producer Pancho Cristal to continue with their success.[2]
