The following track is the wildly popular ‘La Puerta del Dolor.’ ‘El Chivo’ (the goat) is a spicy guaracha, which changes into a son montuno-guajira. ‘Grande’ is a guaguancó, followed by ‘Los Callos de Dolores,’ also a delightful guaguancó. Then comes the ballad ‘Porque yo te Amo,’ a monster hit of the sixties by popular Argentine singer\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSandro\u003c\/b\u003e.
