Nueva Era (English: New Era) is the 13th studio album by Mexican pop singer Yuri. It was released on October 19, 1993, under the labels Sony Latin and Columbia Records. The project was produced by Alejandro Zepeda and co-produced by Aaron Zigman, signaling a creative reinvention for the singer who returned to her signature blonde aesthetic for its launch and promotion.
The album achieved widespread commercial success across Mexico and the wider Hispanic market, predominantly driven by the critical success of its lead single, "Detrás de mi ventana," a ballad penned by Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona that rapidly topped regional popularity charts. *Nueva Era* is also notable for introducing a stylistic blend of contemporary Latin pop ballads alongside up-tempo dance experiments, highlighted by further commercial radio singles like "Amiga mía" and "Si falta el amor." Additionally, the track list features "Celia Mix," a high-energy dance medley honoring the classic catalog hits of salsa singer Celia Cruz, including "Bemba colorá" and "Quimbara." Following its distribution cycle, the album's success allowed Yuri to transition into hosting the popular television variety series *No te muevas* and starring in the blockbuster telenovela *Volver a empezar*.
