Me arde

The song Me arde, with its duration of 3 minutes and 38 seconds, emerges from a particular moment in the career of Andrés Calamaro. After his departure from Los Rodríguez, the musician embarked on the creation of his fifth studio album, titled Alta suciedad, released in 1997. This album represented his first work composed entirely by him, marking a new creative direction.

The recording of Alta suciedad took place in the United States, under the production of Joe Blaney and with the collaboration of Anglo-Saxon musicians. The result was an album that achieved a notable sales figure, exceeding 700,000 copies, and positioned itself as one of the best-selling albums in Argentine rock. Rolling Stone magazine included it in tenth place on its ranking of the 100 best albums of Argentine rock, and the publication Al borde placed it at number 20 on its list of the 250 essential albums of Ibero-American rock.
