The story behind
Fito Páez recorded a song called Cruces de Gin en Sal, which lasts little more than three minutes. The song is part of an unofficial album called Novela, made in 1988. That disc never came to market, but stayed as a demo. Fito wrote it thinking of a short film that never got made due to lack of money.
The song was never published as such. In fact, it was included in another album later, but with a different name. Fito recorded it during a time when he was working on several things at the same time. The lyrics talk about a place where alcohol and salt mix, as if it were a place where two things that shouldn't be mixed come together. It is a simple song, but with a touch of nostalgia and something that doesn't quite get understood.
