El Fenómeno

El Fenómeno (The Phenomenon) is the major-label debut studio album by singer-songwriter Arcángel, released on December 9, 2008, through Machete Music. The album contains appearances by J-King, Don Omar and Tempo.

El Fenómeno was released due to the unsuccessful attempt to release his previous album, La Maravilla. Originally intended to be released on November 25, 2008, it was suddenly pushed back to December 9, 2008. The album contains six tracks from his previous unreleased album La Maravilla, and also includes his first commercially successful single "Chica Virtual", previously released on the DJ Nelson compilation album Flow La Discoteka 2. The lead single from the album, "Por Amar a Ciegas", was released on December 3, 2008.
