Cristófolo Cacarnú

Cristófolo Cacarnú sounds like a short but intense trip, like those tracks recorded in a couple of takes that end up being the bridge between what the band had been doing and what was to come next. It has that contained energy that usually appears when the group has already mastered their sound but isn’t yet concerned with fine-tuning every detail. The track moves forward with a groove that repeats itself, almost like a heartbeat, and in less than three minutes it leaves you with the feeling of having heard something that sounds like Argentina without falling into the obvious.

The album La era de la boludez was released in September 1993, at a time when Divididos were no longer a promise but a band that had found its own path. Ricardo Mollo, Diego Arnedo and Federico Gil Solá worked on this record with the idea that rock didn’t need adornments to be powerful. The production was handled by Aníbal Kerpel and Gustavo Santaolalla, two names that by then already knew how to capture the raw essence of a rehearsal without losing strength in the studio. The mixing was left in the hands of Danny Alonso and Tony Peluso, who gave it that dirty yet precise air that makes the track sound neither like a demo nor an overprocessed production.
