Name of the Album

Fogarate is the dominican word for the plant Mucuna pruriens, a plant whose dust causes an intense itching on contact with the skin. But the word has a double meaning: in the Dominican Republic it is said that a person has "fogaraté" when he is very "on", or if he is very "alive". A woman who has "fogaraté" is that she is turned on in terms of sensuality.
