Mariposa tecknicolor

When you listen to Mariposa tecknicolor, you're likely to resonate with the energy that made it so popular in the 1990s. The track first appeared on the album Circo Beat, released in 1994, which became the second best-selling work in Fito Páez's career. What's interesting is that this album was produced by Phil Manzanera, known for his work with Roxy Music and later with Pink Floyd. The song itself, with its 3:44 duration, received extensive radio play and became one of the promotional singles along with Tema de Piluso.

Over the years, Fito Páez has brought Mariposa tecknicolor to life in various versions. The original, from Circo Beat, was followed by live performances such as those recorded in Euforia (1996), Mi vida con ellas (2004), and No sé si es Baires o Madrid (2008). He also explored an orchestral facet in Moda y pueblo (2005), under the direction of Gerardo Gandini. In addition to its presence on compilation albums like Antología (2002), the song transcended the musical realm to become a popular chant in football stadiums in Argentina, something Páez has highlighted as a source of great pride. Even in 2026, Laura Pausini released a music video for her own version, joining the album Yo Canto 2.
