El novio del olvido

The song El novio del olvido by Andrés Calamaro, with a duration of 2:25, is a piece that invites reflection on the passage of time and memory. Its music, entirely composed by Calamaro, is part of his fifth studio album, Alta suciedad, released in 1997. This album marked a milestone as the first with completely new material from the singer-songwriter after his time with Los Rodríguez, and became one of the best-selling albums in Argentine rock.

The recording of Alta suciedad took place in the United States, under the production of Joe Blaney and with the collaboration of Anglo-Saxon musicians. This album not only consolidated Calamaro's solo career but was also recognized by major publications, such as Rolling Stone magazine, which included it among the 100 best albums of Argentine rock, and Al borde magazine, which placed it on its list of the 250 essential albums of Ibero-American rock.
