De mil novecientos veinte

The song De mil novecientos veinte, with its duration of 3 minutes and 27 seconds, immerses us in a particular sound universe. Although the original text does not detail specific aspects of its recording or composition that distinguish it from others, we can imagine it as part of the creative output of Rodolfo Fito Páez, an artist whose career spans over three decades. Born in Rosario in 1963, Páez is a central figure in Argentine music, recognized for his work as a composer, singer-songwriter, and pianist, and for being one of the pillars of the so-called Trova rosarina. His work encompasses an extensive discography, including studio albums, live recordings, and collaborations with internationally renowned musicians.

Fito Páez's global projection was consolidated in the early nineties, after an initial underground phase that had already captured critical attention. Albums such as El amor después del amor (1992) and Circo beat (1994) marked a milestone, achieving significant commercial success and selling over a million copies combined. Throughout his career, Páez has been awarded on multiple occasions, including five Latin Grammy awards. He obtained his first two awards in the year 2000: one for "best male rock singer" for his album Abre (1999) and another for Al lado del camino as best rock song. Subsequently, between 2007 and 2009, he added three more Grammys in different categories, recognizing works such as El mundo cabe en una canción, Rodolfo, and No sé si es Baires o Madrid. Furthermore, the Konex Foundation awarded him the Platinum Konex Award in 1995 as "best rock composer of the decade in Argentina".
