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.

The lyrics of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs's song Tengo Solamente Dos Maneras De Estar Cerca Del Cielo talk about the two ways the singer wants to be close to heaven. The song starts by reiterating that there are only two ways for them to be near heaven - both of which are exclusive to Latins. He repeats the phrase "tengo solamente dos maneras de estar cerca del cielo" thrice to emphasize the point. The first of the two ways is to die, and the second one is to sing the song.
The song's second verse repeats the same lyrics with added lines "tengo solamente dos maneras de estar cerca del cielo say what?" to draw more attention to the lyrics. The song's chorus then repeats the same verse, underscoring the importance of death and this song as the only two ways to be close to heaven. The last two lines of the chorus repeat the idea that either they die, or they sing this song as the only ways to be close to heaven.
Interestingly, the lyrics of the song do not reveal any religious connotations, despite the theme of being near heaven. Instead, it alludes to the Latin American spirit and references to the music culture prevalent in Latin America. The song's message could be interpreted as a call for Latin Americans to embrace their culture and music passionately as the only way to approach heaven - spiritually or mentally.
