Lopez Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Latin American and Caribbean Cultures 2000 "Festival of Canción Latina, held in Mexico, with her song 'Génesis' (written by Guillermo Venegas Lloveras) placed her unequivocally on an international stage. From then on she aspired to more artistic songs; her work was no longer directed exclusively at a youth audience, and her records began to include the work of poets and composers from Latin America and Europe."
