Bulería is the second studio album recorded by Spanish singer David Bisbal, following Corazón Latino (2002). It was released by Vale Music, Universal Music Spain and Universal Music Latino on February 10, 2004 (see 2004 in music). It is primarily dance music, containing both slow and fast pieces. Two of the songs on the album were co-written by Bisbal. The song "Esta Ausencia" was chosen as theme song for the Mexican telenovela Piel de Otoño (2005), produced by Mapat L. de Zatarain, starring Laura Flores and René Strickler, while Sergio Goyri, Sabine Moussier and Manuel Landeta, starred as antagonists. Gerardo Munguía and María Marcela starred as stellar performances. Raquel Olmedo starred as special participation.
