In the first album of the band, "Santa Maria", Saraguate worked a mixture of Latin and Afro-Caribean rhythms, constituting 14 songs. For this record, Saraguate used acoustic instruments (accordion, guitar and Latin percussion) with electronic beats and bass. One of the emblematic songs of this album is "Contra la Pared", where you hear dembow rhythmic elements, dancehall and cumbia, with a clear tone of lyrical hip-hop that reflects the reality of the country. "Las Luciérnagas" is a mix of ska and dembow that gives way to a little more romantic style of Saraguate. In "Extraterrestre" Salsa meets cumbia and "La Calle" integrates reggae to the album.
