"Released by Fonovisa Records on May 24, 2011, it was recorded before a live audience at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California, on February 8, 2011." - shouldn't it be the other way around? - It was recorded before a live audience at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California, on February 8, 2011 and released by Fonovisa Records on May 24, 2011. - that is the chronlogy.

"with Juanes and Zack de la Rocha being selected by the band for their immigration rights advocacy." - I don't understand this and I don't see it explained in the article.

"entering the top-five in the Billboard Top Latin Albums in the United States, aside from becoming the twenty-third number-one album by the band" - don't think "aside" is the right word - Top Latin Albums in the United States, and became the twenty-third number-one album ?

Background

"The album were to be taped in the first quarter of 2011," - was to be taped

"Jesús Lara of MTV Tr3s named the production "historic" for the Mexican culture" - called the production

Is historic because the Tigres' music has been a part of the Mexian culture, I can reword it if you like... Jaespinoza (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"since the band has been a part of the life of the Hispanic community in Mexico and the U.S" - why does this make the production "historic"?

Recording, repertoire and release

"website since January 27, 2011." - starting January 27, 2011?

FIXED. Jaespinoza (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The costumes the band wore on the show were donated to the Hard Rock Cafe in Los Angeles after the show." - why?

And shouldn't this sentence go at the end of the paragraph?

FIXED. Jaespinoza (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"In preparation to the show, the band sent a list of the songs that their fans have most requested through their career to their featured performers and asked them each to choose the song that better fit their own repertoire." - clumsy wording - and don't understand what "asked them each to choose the song that better fit their own repertoire" means.

FIXED. Jaespinoza (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"selected by the band due their work for immigration rights" - still don't understand what this means.

Immigration rights in the United States is a very important issue for the band, so they were pleased to include another artist that advocate for the cause... Jaespinoza (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
