The story behind
This song sounds like a journey through time, with an air that is both nostalgic and carefree, captivating you from the first chords. It's not just the rhythm, but that mix of guitars that seem to whisper something old and new at the same time, as if the past and present were shaking hands in a single measure. The track unfolds with such naturalness that it invites you to hum along without realizing it, as if it had always been there, waiting for someone to give it shape.
Calamaro recorded it in Uruguay, at a time when recording studios weren't what they are today. His first album as a keyboardist in Raíces led him to play with bands like the Chorizo Colorado Blues Band, where he shared the stage with Augusto Gringui Herrera, a partner who accompanied him in his early steps. Before that, he had already left his mark as a session musician for artists like Los Hermanos Makaroff and Julián Petrina, but it was his time with The Morgan — alongside Héctor Zeta Bosio, Charly Amato and Sandra Baylac — that brought him closer to a sound more akin to rock. Later, in Stress, where he replaced Alejandro O'Donell, he found a space where the guitar and bass wove together with the energy of Gustavo Cerati, a key moment that would later lead to Proyecto Erekto. Here, the song seems to capture that essence of trial and error, of musicians searching for a sound that still had no name.
