The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Debbie Harry, Mick Jones, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single "Matador", in what probably was the peak of popularity of the band. On September 29 of that year they produced an MTV Unplugged concert. The Cadillacs also won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album, and were nominated in the 2000 Latin Grammy Awards for Best Band and Best Music Video ("La Vida"), which received the now-defunct International Viewer's Choice Award (Southern Region) at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
una ola de calor que se siente venir why que vas a estallar
tenés que confiar, el alma sos vos
no puedo parar, ya no vas a parar.
Hey, yo soy como vos, que somos lo malo de la generación
nada está por terminar, es solo vivir esta ola de calor
tenés que confiar, el alma sos vos
Ya está por explotar el sonido joven de América
una ola de calor que se siente venir why que vas a estallar
Tenés que confiar, el alma sos vos
no puedo parar, ya no vas a parar.
Tenés que confiar, el alma sos vos
no puedo parar, ya no vas a parar.

The singer addresses the listener directly, telling them that they need to trust themselves, that they are the soul that will drive this explosion forward. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, with the repetition of "no puedo parar" (I can't stop), as if the singer is caught up in this wave of sound and energy, unable to resist it any longer.
The second verse continues this idea, with the singer saying that they are just like the listener, both part of the "bad" of their generation. However, the lyrics also suggest that nothing is about to end, that this explosion is just a part of living, and that the listener should trust themselves and their soul to ride this wave. There is a sense of rebellion and excitement to these lyrics, with an almost anarchic energy that celebrates the youth of America.
