Good article. Article is new enough and long enough, sourced and neutral. Went from 600 to 4000 bytes so more than 5x. Some refs not available online - good faith assumed, except on the hook which we must have certainty on. I looked at two other sources to confirm that this was really Chavez's favorite, but they both talk about "two of his favorite", the other mentioned being Amaneció de golpe.. Both ALT1 and ALT2 are good to go. Onceinawhile (talk) 09:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
