Currently, the album’s music videos surpass 450 million views on YouTube.
Last August, Los Ángeles Azules became the first Mexican group to enter YouTube’s prestigious Billion Views’ Club when the music video for “Nunca Es Suficiente” feat. Natalia Lafourcade reached one million views. Weeks later, Los Ángeles Azules became the only Mexican act to have 2 videos with over 1 billion views on YouTube when the music video for “Mis Sentimientos” feat. Ximena Sariñana also achieved the milestone.
In February 2021, the group was recognized with the Premio Lo Nuestro- Cumbia Legacy Award, and weeks later, they surprised their fans with “Cumbia a la gente” a hit collaboration alongside Puerto Rican star Guaynaa.
