Comida china

The Comida china track, lasting 2 minutes and 10 seconds, is part of Argentine musician Andrés Calamaro's fifth studio album, titled Alta suciedad. Released in 1997, this work marked a milestone as his first album featuring entirely new compositions following his departure from Los Rodríguez. Recorded in the United States under the production of Joe Blaney and with English-speaking musicians, the album achieved notable success, selling over 700,000 copies and establishing itself as one of the most successful albums in Argentine rock history. Its significance was further highlighted when Rolling Stone magazine ranked it 10th in its list of the 100 best Argentine rock albums, and Al borde placed it 20th in its ranking of the 250 essential albums of Ibero-American rock.

Andrés Calamaro's career prior to this album is extensive and diverse. From his early years, at age eight, playing the bandoneon and composing his first song at ten, to his exploration of the electric guitar and piano, which he learned with Osvaldo Calo. His recording debut took place in Uruguay as the keyboardist for the group Raíces, recommended by Sergio Makaroff. Later, he formed the Chorizo Colorado Blues Band with Augusto Gringui Herrera, and ventured into projects like Elmer's Band, adding Eduardo Cano to the lineup. He also worked as a session musician for artists such as Los Hermanos Makaroff and Julián Petrina. His path led him to collaborate with Héctor Zeta Bosio and Gustavo Cerati in groups like The Morgan and Stress, the latter evolving into Los Estereotipos and later Proyecto Erekto.
