Writing and production
Lágrimas y Gozos is the first album since Ska-P's break-up in 2002.[2] The title of the album was a choice between Azufre (Sulphur) or Lágrimas y Gozos (Tears and Joy). They explained their decision in choosing Lágrimas y Gozos in an interview for the Spanish daily El Mundo:
| “ | Tears and joy is a phrase in the lyrics of Crimen sollicitationis - which is a direct attack on the Vatican for covering-up sexual abuses at a worldwide level. The phrase reflects the tears of the abused children and the joy of their abusers. However, it's a phrase that can be extrapolated to life, some [people] cry because of the joy of others.[3] | ” |
