Writing and production

[edit]

Lágrimas y gozos is the first album since Ska-P's break-up in 2002.[2] The title of the album was a choice between Azufre ("sulphur") or Lágrimas y gozos ("tears and joy"). They explained their decision in choosing Lágrimas y gozos in an interview for the Spanish daily El Mundo:

Tears and joy is a phrase in the lyrics of Crimen sollicitationis – which is a direct attack on the Vatican for covering-up sexual abuses at a worldwide level. The phrase reflects the tears of the abused children and the joy of their abusers. However, it's a phrase that can be extrapolated to life, some [people] cry because of the joy of others.[3]
