The story behind

El tuerto y los ciegos, according to DoReSol

In El tuerto y los ciegos, Sui Generis presents a narrative that explores the idea of madness as a presence that disrupts life. The lyrics describe the arrival of a female figure, Cassandra, and how the protagonist welcomes her, inviting her to become part of his existence. This character, Cassandra, is inspired by the Greek myth of the prophetess condemned never to be believed, adding a layer of fatality to the acceptance of this "madness." The musical piece, with a duration of 2 minutes and 4 seconds, was composed by Charly García and Nito Mestre.

This composition is part of the album Pequeñas anécdotas sobre las instituciones, released in 1974. It is interesting to note that, in addition to being performed by Sui Generis, El tuerto y los ciegos has also been covered by Mercedes Sosa, showing the versatility and reach of the song. The musical structure is based in F minor, a key that often evokes depth and melancholy, complementing the lyrical theme.
