Lunas Rotas (Broken moons in English) is the debut album of Spanish singer and composer Rosana Arbelo.
The title track and the song "El Talismán" were used in the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Curdled.[2] Billboard noted: "An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Rosana Arbelo's extraordinary voice gives Lunas Rotas an intimate quality. […] flamenco-pop sisters Azúcar Moreno are among those who have recorded her songs, and like that of Azúcar Moreno, Arbelo's music has a distinct Caribbean and Latin influence".[3]
As of September 2016, Lunas Rotas was ranked joint 7th in the list of best-selling albums in Spain; it had certified physical sales of 1,100,000 according to Productores de Música de España (PROMUSICAE).[4] It further sold 400,000 units in Europe as of 1998.[5]
