Sueños y Pesadillas del Tercer Mundo is the debut album of The Dominican rock group, Toque Profundo. The album was released independently with only the band's members financial help. The album helped them reach the top of mainstream rock in the Dominican Republic and was deemed a total success.
Most of the songs by Toque Profundo in this album relate to the Country's economic or social situation. The record featured songs such as Mi País, a song in the style of a rock opera, which took a satirical swipe at the pros and cons of life in the Dominican Republic, as well as songs addressing themes such as the 1965 Dominican Civil War and South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela.[1] Some examples of less serious lyrical content appear on El Gevito, a track about fashion-obsessed Dominican young men which were part of the Dominican popular culture in the '80s, and El Bolero Del Bionico which describes the adventures and perils on riding in a cheap taxi ride.
