About the album
Divididos por la felicidad, according to DoReSol
This work is especially interesting for how it fuses elements. On one hand, we find songs that explore reggae with a sonic delicacy rarely seen until then in Argentine rock, as in No acabes, Regtest, El reggae de paz y amor, No duermas, and Kaya. On the other hand, the album contains tracks that became emblematic. La rubia tarada, originally titled Una noche en New York City, became their biggest hit. And then there's Mejor no hablar (de ciertas cosas), one of the group's most outstanding compositions. The lyrics of the latter have a particular story: they arose from a moment in 1982, when Luca Prodan sang in place of Indio Solari at a festival. Indio Solari, while soundchecking, was captivated by a slow melody the band was playing almost improvisationally, while he recited curious lyrics. Prodan became interested in the song, obtained it from Poly, producer for Los Redondos, and upon returning to his rehearsal room, asked Arnedo to speed up the bass rhythm to give it Sumo's characteristic stamp. The song had already appeared in Corpiños en la Madrugada, but here it found its definitive form.
The technical production of the album was handled by Luis Brozzoni, while the accompanying photographs were courtesy of Max Stuart from Australia. The record also includes acknowledgments to various people and entities, such as Geniol con Coca, Alejandro Sokol, Tito Fargo, Stephanie Nuttal, Quito Figueroa, and Mauricio Plomex, giving an idea of the environment in which this work was conceived.
