The story behind
Hijo de las armas, according to DoReSol
The song *Hijo de las armas* by No Te Va Gustar directly addresses the issue of juvenile accountability in Uruguay. The lyrics, written by Emiliano Brancciari, reflect the harsh reality of young people trapped in difficult circumstances, expressing a feeling of not having chosen that path, as if life itself pushed them towards it. There is an echo of the slogan "NO A LA BAJA" in the chorus, which resonates with the idea that no one is born without a purpose, but circumstances can press hard. This track is part of the album El Calor del Pleno Invierno, released on October 18, 2012, through Bizarro Records.
It was produced by Federico Lima and Sebastián Peralta, and featured the participation of musicians such as Fernando Ruiz Díaz, Gabriel Peluffo, Jorge Serrano, and Germán Daffunchio. The album marked a milestone for the band, being the first without keyboardist Marcel Curuchet, and became their first album to reach the top spot on the charts in Uruguay and Argentina. Additionally, El Calor del Pleno Invierno received a nomination for the Latin Grammy Awards and three for the Graffiti Awards in 2013. The song has a duration of 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
