Background

Similar to his previous album, Mis Manos deals with themes of love and romanticism, with his relationship with his wife Evaluna Montaner serving as inspiration for the album, Montaner appears in the track "Machu Picchu", Camilo has commented that "the album is a testimony of the way that I live love, the way in which I have discovered myself through the eyes of my wife, the way I have learnt the things that she saw in me and that I was never brave enough to see". The name of the album, translated to "my hands" in English, comes from the self-made nature of the album, according to Camilo "everything on this album is written, produced, recorded, played and crossed out with my hands, as the days go by I am more convinced that God created me with his hands and made me by hand with purpose and intention, and if I am created in his image and likeness, then all of his inheritance is in my creativity, in my intuition and in my hands as an instrument of all that I turn into song".
