Dance and Dense Denso is a third studio album by Mexican band Molotov, released on February 25, 2003, through Universal Music Latino. It was produced by Argentine musician Gustavo Santaolalla. The title of the album is in Spanglish (part English and part Spanish), and can be very roughly translated as: "Dance and beat each other out (Dense) intensely (Denso)". The verb "Dar", here is conjugated in an imperative mode of the third person plural. "Dense" is used in several places in Latin America meaning to engage in sexual intercourse, as well as to engage in a fight. Both the title and the cover-art are references to Moshing (slam-dancing), where participants push or slam into each other. At the 4th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for Best Rock Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal and "Frijolero" was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rock Song and won Best Short Form Music Video, being the band's first Latin Grammy Award. The following year, at the 5th Annual Latin Grammy Awards, two other songs from the album received nominations, both "Here We Kum" and "Hit Me" were nominated for Best Rock Song, with the latter also being nominated for Best Short Form Music Video. The album peaked at numbers 19 and 10 at the Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts, respectively, being the first appearance of the band in the latter chart as well as their highest in the former. It was also certified gold in Mexico and Argentina. Background The album was recorded from June to September 2002 at Larabee Studios in Los Angeles, United States, with Gustavo Santaolalla as producer and Aníbal Kerpel as associate producer, it was mixed by Robert Carranza at Soundcastle, also in United States, and features a cover designed by Edoardo Chavarín. The album deals political issues similar to their debut album ¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas? (1997), the band has said that "we returned to the idea of making songs with a background that affects a lot of people, but it's more hip hop, eighties funk", the album blends humor, with comical song titles such as "Changüich a la Chichona" and "No Me Da Mi Navidad (Punketon)" and social commentary in songs like "Frijolero" about the racism in United States towards Latin American immigrants, "I'm the One" about the difficulties in the relationships of parents and their children
