Background
Inspiration for the album came to Drexler after traveling through Latin America for the past four years prior to the album, feeling "at home" everywhere he went, this deep connection with the continent led to the collaborations of the album and the mix of nationalities in them, with the song "Bolivia" being sung with Brazilian artist Caetano Veloso and "Universos Paralelos", a song with influences from Colombian music, featuring Chilean-French rapper Ana Tijoux.

The album was recorded in Madrid, Spain and Bogotá, Colombia, and resulted in a much more "danceable" album that Drexler's previous efforts, his decision to record in Colombia came after feeling a "generous energy" from the country, Drexler said that "we wanted to bring that atmosphere that I perceived, that optimism from contemporary Colombian music, and above all, the rhythm, the groove".

The song "Bolivia" is a homage to the country that sheltered Drexler's father, who fled from Nazi Germany as a German Jew at four years old with his parents during the Holocaust.

Critical reception
Thom Jurek writing for AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, commenting that "Though Bailar en la Cueva may be easy to listen to, it is one of his most musically mercurial efforts; one that defies compartmentalization even by his own adventurous standards". Jurek also commented on the songs "Universos Paralelos", writing that Tijoux's feature "lends a sultry, wispy rap to the backdrop to make this one of the set's most infectious tunes", and "Bolivia", calling it "provocative, spooky, and incantatory".
