A Pesar de Todo (All the Same) is the fourth album recorded by Puerto Rican salsa singer Víctor Manuelle, released on June 3, 1997. Under the record label of Sony Discos, Sony Tropical, and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, this album signifies the consecration of Víctor Manuelle. It contains songs such as "Dile A Ella", "Así Es La Mujer", composed and written by Omar Alfano, "El Aguila," and the most successful single from the album, "He Tratado", composed by Manuelle himself. The latter song is considered, by salsa music experts, a flagship song of Salsa romantica.
