Con Poder did not sell well and was the artist only album on the release on Sony BMG label. Following the commercial disappointment of the record, both sides decided to parted waves. In retrospective, the artist expressed on his autobiographical film Vico C: La Vida del Filósofo,[7] that the album did not have the necessary distribution, because his record label did not agree with the lyrics that the singer performed on the album. For this reason, on his album "Emboscada", he re-released the song "La Movida", with a new version and where he hints at what happened in greater detail.
