Singer Charly López has publicly questioned the solo career of Patricia Manterola, his former bandmate from the popular 90s group Garibaldi. López stated he is unaware of any successful songs from Manterola's solo work, contrasting her with another ex-Garibaldi member, Pilar Montenegro, whose song "Quítenme ese hombre" was a hit.
