Cruel

The song Cruel stands out in the debut album by Los Piojos, titled Chactuchac, released in 1992. This track, which lasts 4:05, fits within a musical context where the band blends rock influences with nuances of Argentine culture. In its lyrics, a narrative reflecting marginality and urban life is perceived, something that resonates with the spirit of the time and connects with the everyday experiences of many people.

The recording of Chactuchac took place at Estudios Del Cielito between June and August 1992, under the production of Adrián Rivarola and the band itself. This album gathers compositions that Los Piojos had been performing live since 1988, giving it a special authenticity. The sound of the record evokes reminiscences of the 80s, but also delves into a more contemporary style, integrating elements of rock and the outskirts. Songs like Cancheros and Tan solo complement this sonic journey that defines the essence of the band in its early days. The re-release of the album in 2007 by El Farolito Discos reignited interest in this work, which continues to resonate in the collective memory of Argentine rock fans.
