- The album's title translates to "The Little Radio," reflecting Chao's ongoing fascination with radio as a medium for communication and cultural exchange.
- The release was accompanied by a world tour, with Chao and Radio Bemba playing over 100 dates across Europe, the Americas, and Asia in support of the album.
