The song ¿Quién asó la manteca? by Andrés Calamaro, with its duration of 4:27, is presented as an interesting piece within his discography. Although the original text does not detail specific aspects of its composition or recording that make it unique in sound, it does place it at a key moment in the artist's career. This song is part of the album Alta suciedad, released in 1997, which marked his return as a solo artist after his time with Los Rodríguez. It was a work where Calamaro was responsible for composing all the songs, showing a very personal authorial facet.
