The album was born in 2020. After the start of the covid-19 pandemic, some realities such as drug addiction, suicides, domestic abuse, anxiety and job losses began to become more evident in society. as well as many other events.

What was it like working with a group like Estación Cero?
It was very gratifying to share with Estación Cero, it is one of the best Colombian Catholic music bands, not only because of its musical level, but also because of its life of mission and faith, which have helped me strengthen my vocation as a Catholic musician looking at a dynamic and contemporary horizon.
The album has a self-titled single, what is this song about?
“Revive the fire in me” is inspired by a true life story, it is about a man who since childhood treasured the gift of believing in God, but little by little in his growth, other voices became stronger overshadowing his faith, losing himself in the vices that degraded his life to the point of almost dying. After many turns in life and drinking from many sources of water that did not quench his thirst, he returns to his first love, to beg her to restore his life.
