Nandito Ako (lit. I Am Here) is a 1997 compilation album by Mexican singer Thalía.[1] The title track in the album was originally performed by Ogie Alcasid. It was exclusively released in the Philippines, where she gained a following after the success of Marimar in the country.
The album sold 40,000 in Philippines, after 10 months of its realese.[2] The album, composed of ten tracks, includes her first single "Nandito Ako" which was recorded after her major concert in the Philippines.[3]
It also features the Tagalog version of "María la del Barrio", and "Juana" and the English versions of "Quiero Hacerte El Amor" and "Gracias A Dios". She also made her own versions of the songs "Tell Me" (originally performed by Joey Albert), "Hey, It's Me" (originally by Jamie Rivera), and "El Venao" (originally by Los Cantantes).[3]
The album was sung half in English and half in Tagalog. Ricky R. Ilacad is its executive producer. Due to Thalía's success in the Philippines, this album was released in 1997 in that country and other Asian countries, under the label OctoArts EMI. This was the first time Thalía sang in English and Tagalog.[3]
Ten years later, it was re-released in the Philippines with the inclusion of one of her signature songs "Marimar".[4]
