This catchy pop song was written by Colombian singer-songwriter Octavio Mesa, but has become the signature hit of fellow Colombian Juanes (Juan Esteban Aristizábal Vásquez).

"La Camisa Negra" ("The Black Shirt"), was used in Italy in support of neo-fascism by relating it to the uniform used under the regime of Benito Mussolini. In response, left-wing media network Indymedia called for a boycott of the song. Juanes later stated that "'La Camisa Negra' has got nothing to do with fascism or Mussolini... People can interpret music in all kinds of ways I guess." The song is actually about the sadness of lost love.
