Contra el Viento ("Against the Wind") is the sixth studio album by singer-songwriter Kany García. The album was released on May 17, 2019.[1][2][3] The album earned 2,000 album-equivalent units in the week ending May 23.[4] The album was included in Billboard magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2019 (So Far)" list.[5]
Each track of Contra el Viento is preceded by a short, spoken-word intro. These commentaries were recorded by a range of women García identifies with, including Mercedes Sosa, Natti Natasha, Lila Downs, and Sofía Vergara.[6] According to Billboard, the commentaries serve "as the framework for a deep dive into the full range of a personal evolution, going from loss and disillusionment to self-awareness, rebirth and finally, love again".[5]
The album was produced by Marcos Sánchez and recorded by Orlando Di Pietro, Larry Coll, José E. Diaz, Orlando Ferrer, Harold W. Sanders, Ismar Colón and Daniel Bitran Arizpe.
