Only a few months after releasing Ciclo, Simon was invited to perform at SXSW, Hermoso Ruido, and a couple of tours around Mexico, Colombia and the East Coast of the US.

Previously my music was always tied to specific moments and people in my life. I had a hard time getting there, I had to tear down my entire process and change it from the root. I have always shown evolution in the projects I do, but Bahia Margarita is the most different work I have done. “After the success of my previous albums (Ciclo, Mujer Electrica, Triste Pero Fresh) I felt creatively stuck.
