Source-derived summary

Trozos de Mi Alma, Vol. 2 (English: Pieces of My Soul, Vol. 2) is the seventh studio album recorded by Mexican singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís. It was released by Fonovisa Records on September 26, 2006 (see 2006 in music). It became his sixth number-one set on the Billboard Top Latin Albums. Like his 1999 release Trozos de Mi Alma, this album includes songs written by Solís that were previously recorded by other artists, such as Laura Flores ("Antes de Que Te Vayas" and Te Voy a Esperar"), his brother José Javier Solís ("Quien Se Enamoró"), Pablo Montero ("Pídemelo Todo"), Victoria ("Hay Veces"), Rocío Dúrcal ("Extráñandote" and "Yo Creía Que Sí"), Paulina Rubio ("Ojalá") and Marisela ("Dios Bendiga Nuestro Amor" and "No Puedo Olvidarlo"). The album was released in a standard CD presentation and in a CD/DVD combo, including the music video for the first single "Antes de Que Te Vayas", the track "Sin Lado Izquierdo" (first included on his album Razón de Sobra) and bonus materials. It received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album. “Antes de Que Te Vayas" served as the opening theme for the Mexican telenovela Mundo de Fieras (2006–2007), produced by Salvador Mejía Alejandre starring César Évora, Gaby Espino, and Edith González.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Trozos de Mi Alma, Vol. 2” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Trozos, Alma and album provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q16966557. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 1999 and 2007.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
