Background and accolades
The album marks García's first collaboration with Calle 13 producer Visitante. The collaboration inspired García to deviate from mainstream bachata and incorporate a variety of genres into the album: the artist recalled, "I [didn't] want to be that guy that just does Caribbean music".[1] García won three awards including Best New Artist at the 2017 Latin Grammy Awards.[1] The song "Bachata en Kingston" from A La Mar won Best Tropical Song at the ceremony.[2] A La Mar was ranked by the Los Angeles Times as the best album of the decade by any Dominican artist.[3]
