Album name

At first it seems like Alborada is the name of an album by Danny Rivera, but in reality it is a self-titled album.
The original agreement between Danny and Alborada was to have the album titled Danny Rivera y Alborada but at the last minute the record company decided to get rid of the "y". The CD version has the name "Alborada" in a smaller font than "Danny Rivera" contributing even more to this misconception.
