Arroyo Peligroso (Dangerous Creek) is the first EP by Colombian musician and singer-songwriter Joe Arroyo, released on March 16, 2004^[1] under the label of Discos Fuentes. After the end of his contract with Sony Music, Arroyo decided to return to Discos Fuentes. This album offers a more commercial, folkloric rhythm and a mild introduction to his upcoming album Se Armo la Moña en Carnaval (2005). It had two hits in Colombia: "La Fundillo Loco" and "El Torito". It was released at the beginning of the year, coinciding with the Carnival of Barranquilla.^[2] Popular legend in Barranquilla has it that "La Fundillo Loco" was dedicated to his ex Mary.^[3]^[4]

^ El ocaso de un ídolo 2005 En Barranquilla la separación de la pareja no ha pasado inadvertida, ni mucho menos el desconsuelo de Joe. Aunque él lo niega, muchos creen que le dedicó la canción La fundillo loco: "Ay mi madre cómo duele tanto, cómo una mujer que uno quiso tanto lo deja en la vida y queda uno loco, pero fíjate que ya pasó. Y me importó poco". En una columna de El Heraldo, su amigo Ernesto Mcausland le reclamó diciéndole: "Un hombre tan inteligente como Álvaro José Arroyo González? debió suponer que a la canción la iban a vincular con su accidentado divorcio, máxime cuando se trata de un artista cuya genialidad e impacto han radicado en su talento para la canción autobiográfica".
