Destreza means 'skill' or 'dexterity'. It's a sophisticated word that goes beyond simple ability, implying a refined, almost artistic cleverness.
In this song, the singer doesn't just say his partner has nice eyes; he says they have the destreza to read his mind. This elevates a romantic cliché into a captivating and unique compliment, suggesting her intuition is a masterful skill that he finds irresistible.
Bajo La Mesa is a playful confession wrapped in Morat’s signature folk-pop warmth and Sebastián Yatra’s smooth romantic flair. Picture two people sitting across from each other in a buzzing café: one slips off a shoe and brushes the other’s foot, pretending it was an accident. From that cheeky touch springs a tidal wave of unspoken feelings. The narrator is shy, words stick in his throat, yet every glance and every accidental-on-purpose brush under the table shouts what he cannot say out loud. The song turns ordinary moments—a final beer, a shared stare—into proof that fate is nudging them together.
As the chorus swells, he stops hiding and dares his crush to admit the obvious: “Yo sé que tú sientes algo por mí.” Why fight a love their kisses already confirm? If she walks out without him, he warns, her memory will follow him everywhere like lost stars fading at dawn. Bajo La Mesa is ultimately about that electric instant when secrecy feels sillier than honesty, when a single touch under the table sparks the courage to say, “I want you to leave with me.” It is a joyful reminder that sometimes the heart speaks louder than words—and that the best love stories can start with a little footsie.
The four of Morat met at school in Bogotá, Colombia, and were playing as Malta by late 2011, renamed before the first record. Juan Pablo Isaza sings and plays guitar, Juan Pablo Villamil plays the banjo that gives their pop its country tilt, and the Vargas brothers hold the bottom end, Simón on bass and Martín on percussion.
They broke out in 2015, first on Paulina Rubio's "Mi nuevo vicio" and then with their own "Cómo te atreves". Sobre el amor y sus efectos secundarios (2016) led to Balas perdidas (2018), a number one in Spain and Mexico with "Besos en guerra" alongside Juanes plus "No se va", which Grupo Frontera's 2022 cover turned into their most-streamed song. ¿A dónde vamos? (2021) and Si ayer fuera hoy (2022) followed, then Ya es mañana (2025), their first Latin Grammy winner, for Best Pop/Rock Album. Its tour opened with six nights at Bogotá's Movistar Arena in August 2026, and a May 2026 duet with Silvestre Dangond, "Lo poco que yo quiero", previews a second volume.
