The story behind
Esto va para atrás, according to DoReSol
This goes backward sounds as if time had turned around to record it. The song opens with a riff that repeats in circles, but it's not a perfect loop: it has an imbalance that makes it stumble forward. Moris's voice enters with a cadence that doesn't rush the rhythm, as if each word weighed more than the one before. It's not a song that drags you along; instead, it invites you to stay still and listen as the sound unravels and reassembles itself.The original recordings were made between 1967 and 1968, but the album wasn't released until 1970. Jorge Álvarez and Pedro Pujó produced it just as Argentine rock was beginning to find its own voice.
The album, Treinta, ended up becoming a key document of that era: in the 2000s, Rolling Stone Argentina ranked it among the ten best of national rock, though years later it dropped a few places. But the song itself doesn't need rankings: its oddity — that mix of raw rock and melody that refuses to be predictable — makes it unique.
