About the album

Despedazado por mil partes, according to DoReSol

Among the most outstanding compositions, "Balada del diablo y la muerte" stands out as a classic that resonates even among those who are not ardent followers of the band. Also included is "Veneno", a cover of La Negra, which adds a special touch to the repertoire. The final track, "Hablando de la libertad", has become the usual closing of their concerts, creating a moment of unique connection with the audience. The album cover, designed by Marcelo Zeballos, features an intriguing image that plays with the duality between an angel and a demon, reflecting the complexity of the emotions found in La Renga's music.

The presentation tour for Despedazado por mil partes extended from December 1996 to May 1998, taking the band across Argentina and other countries in the Americas and Spain, where over a million people enjoyed their live energy. This album not only consolidated their sound but also left a mark in the hearts of their followers, becoming a benchmark of rock in Spanish.
