In 1995, Martin teamed up with former band member, Robi Draco Rosa. Rosa was credited as Ian Blake in the official booklet of A Medio Vivir to work on his third studio album, A Medio Vivir, a record influenced by rock music and combined with Latin styles such as flamenco and cumbia. With Rosa's help several songs were penned for the record, including, "Fuego de Noche, Nieve de Día", "Volverás" and "María". The latter became a hit and was remixed as a bilingual English-Spanish version, released in 1998.
Lágrimas Cálidas (English: Warm Tears) is the debut studio album by Colombian recording artist Fanny Lu, released on January 1, 2005. The record contains ten tracks, most of which were composed by Jose Gaviria, and produced with Andres Munera. Musically, the album experiments with tropipop, which is composed of the genres of vallenato, merengue, and pop music. Recording for the album took place in 2004 in three cities: Miami, Bogota and Medellin. An international version of the album, containing two remixes, was released exclusively in United States, Spain and Colombia.
The album was certified gold in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador and ranked number thirteen on the Billboard Tropical Albums chart in the United States. The album earned Lu many accolades, including a Latin Grammy nomination, five Billboard Latin Music Awards nominations, and three Premios Shock nominations, winning two. Three singles were released from the record, two of which, "No Te Pido Flores" and "Y Si Te Digo", reached number one on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart.
