Hombre sintetizador is the second album released by Mexican Avanzada Regia rock band Zurdok. They left behind the heavy sounds of Antena to a more experimental tunes, adding classical instruments and folk sounds. It is considered one of the best albums of rock en español of all-time and made Zurdok into one of the most popular Mexican bands of the ends of the 1990s. Four official singles were released alongside the record: "Abre los ojos", "Si me advertí", "¿Cuántos pasos? and "Luna".

Avanzada Regia was a musical movement in the mid-1990s from Monterrey.

Zurdok is a Mexican rock band based in Monterrey. It was formed in 1993 under the name Zurdok Movimento, changing it several years later to simply Zurdok. It was one of the most important bands in the Mexican rock band scene at the end of the 1990s and the early 2000s.

Rock en español is a term used widely in the English-speaking world to refer any kind of rock music featuring Spanish vocals. Unlike English-speaking bands, very few acts reached worldwide success and often not even between different Spanish-speaking countries due to a lack of promotion. Despite rock en español 's origins in the late 1950s, many rock acts achieved at best nationwide fame until the Internet consolidated the listeners. However, some rock en español artists did become internationally popular with the help of a promotional campaign from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s called "Rock en tu idioma". Some specific rock-based styles influenced by folkloric rhythms have also developed in these regions. Some of the more prominent styles are Latin rock, a fusion of rock music with Latin American and Caribbean folkloric sounds developed in Latino communities; Latin alternative, an alternative rock scene which blended a Latin sound with other genres like Caribbean ska, reggae, and soca; or Andalusian rock, a flamenco-influenced style that emerged in Spain.
