Argentina Es Una Trampa

The story behind

Fito Páez recorded a song called Argentina Es Una Trampa, which lasts little more than two and a half minutes. He wrote it in 1988, when he was working on a project that never came to fruition. It was part of a demo tape that was never released, but included some of the songs that later became part of other albums. The idea was to make the soundtrack of a short film that wasn't filmed due to lack of money. Although it didn't come to fruition, some of those songs ended up in other albums, with different names. This one, in particular, remained as a separate piece, as if it were a sketch that never got completed.
