The song "Feliz" as it was told by Garcia herself, is influence by Latin American music. Garcias says "It is a celebration, a feast, and in some ways, reflects the mood of the album".[1] The song was inspired by an argument that Kany had with one of her friend.[2]
A new version of "Feliz" was recorded during the month of November to be released during Christmas time in the month of December. The new version created in four different countries. Andrés Castro, producer of the song and the album "Boleto De Entrada", recorded the guitars, bass, and the broader elements while visiting Colombia. The mixing took place in the states, and Kany lend her voice to the song while promoting the album in Mexico. The final mix took place via the web. Kany on the new version:
I was fascinated by how and to be honest, I prefer this version because it is more effective for people, gives you much more joy and the fact that this had the fourth song enlivens.—Kany García[3]
The music video for "Feliz" was shot in some cities in New York. The visual was recorded in Williamsburg, one of the most artistic and popular areas of Brooklyn.

Lo! was the third published nonfiction work of the author Charles Fort (first edition 1931). In it he details a wide range of unusual phenomena. In the final chapter of the book he proposes a new cosmology that the earth is stationary in space and surrounded by a solid shell which is (in the book's final words) ".. not unthinkably far away."
Of Fort's four books, this volume deals most frequently and scathingly with astronomy (continuing from his previous book New Lands). The book also deals extensively with other subjects, including paranormal phenomena (see parapsychology), which was explored in his first book, The Book of the Damned. Fort is widely credited to have coined the now-popular term teleportation in this book, and here he ties his previous statements on what he referred to as the Super-Sargasso Sea into his beliefs on teleportation. He would later expand this theory to include purported mental and psychic phenomena in his fourth and final book, Wild Talents.
It takes its derisive title from what he regarded as the tendency of astronomers to make positivistic, overly precise, and premature announcements of celestial events and discoveries. Fort portrays them as quack prophets, sententiously pointing towards the skies and saying "Lo!" (hence the book's title)—inaccurately, as events turn out.
Lož (pronounced [ˈloːʃ]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia. Originally the settlement that is now Stari Trg pri Ložu was called Lož, but in 1341 a new settlement was begun around Lož Castle and the name of the older settlement as well as its market rights were adopted by the new settlement. The older settlement began to be referred to as Stari trg (literally, 'old market town' in Slovene; German: Altenmarkt). The new settlement was granted town privileges in 1477.
There are two churches in the settlement. The church in the centre of the town is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1428. During Ottoman raids in the late 15th century the church was fortified and a wall was built around the town. The second church is outside the town at the cemetery and is dedicated to Saint Roch. It was built in 1635 after an oath by locals in a 1631 outbreak of bubonic plague.
Ålo is a village in Søgne municipality, Norway. It is located with the sea and nearby Mandal municipality.
