The video is a retrospective look at the journey of the musical duo "Inténtalo Carito" over the past eight years. The duo, which consists of Nicolás Ospina and Juan Ospina, started as a way to create humorous songs that were not overly personal. Their first song, "Automobile Narcolepsy," was created during a two-month visit by Juan Ospina to Nicolás in Buenos Aires. The duo initially faced issues with the audio quality and set of the video, leading them to take it down.
Their second song, "Oh, How Hard It Is to Speak Spanish," was created to tackle a common theme - learning a new language. The duo spent 12 days composing the song, with Juan Andrés staying at Juan's place and working on the song intensively. The song was finally recorded in Colombia after several failed attempts due to external noise. The video went viral, leading to a surge in interviews and recognition.
The duo, who are both pianists, didn't have a platform to express their comedic side in their professional field. This project allowed them to work together on different instruments, sing, and make vocal sound effects. They have since created a show based on the "Inténtalo Carito" project and have their own individual projects as well. They encourage viewers to subscribe to their individual channels on social media and look forward to sharing more content in the future.
