The title track of his 2025 album, "Bogotá" evokes deep feelings of absence and nostalgia as it reflects on his childhood and memories of his mother. The lyrics capture a deep longing for his neighborhood, street, and home, culminating in the yearning for a mother's embrace.
"It's a song about returning to the remnants of childhood, to the place where one grows up, to the house where the early years were lived, and the nostalgia of finding the emptiness left by that time and the absence of a mother. This is a lyric that cries with Bogotá's rain," Cepeda said of "Bogotá."
