In 2006, "[[Torres Gemelas]]" (Twin Towers) was released. While the song is tragic in nature, the subject matter being Delfin losing a loved one in the terrorist attack of [[9/11]], the whimsical and [[kitsch]]y nature of the song as well as the poor acting in the music video has made this song an [[internet meme]].<ref name="Clinic" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Sandoval|first=Carla|date=2018-10-19|title=Falleció un hijo del cantante ecuatoriano Delfín Quishpe|url=https://www.elcomercio.com/tendencias/entretenimiento/muerte-hijo-cantante-delfin-quishpe.html|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-09|website=El Comercio|language=es-EC|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211209211757/https://www.elcomercio.com/tendencias/entretenimiento/muerte-hijo-cantante-delfin-quishpe.html |archive-date=2021-12-09 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.revistalideres.ec/2009-07-13/RR-HH/Noticia-Principal/LD090713P28TALENTOS.aspx |title=Revista Lideres.ec |accessdate=2010-04-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090718224439/http://revistalideres.ec/2009-07-13/RR-HH/Noticia-Principal/LD090713P28TALENTOS.aspx |archivedate=2009-07-18 }} Revista Lideres, retrieved 2010-03-22</ref><ref name="Universo">Xavier A.
