The story behind
The song Rompan todo, originally titled Break It All, is one of the notable participations on the album Tango 4. This work, a collaboration between Charly García and Pedro Aznar, was gestated between January and September 1991. The main recording took place at Overtone Studios, with the assistance of Peter Baleani on tracks like Vampiro, Sólo Dios sabe, and Diana. What's interesting about Rompan todo is that it is not an original composition by García or Aznar, but rather an adaptation into Spanish of a song by the Uruguayan band Los Shakers. For this version, they had the special collaboration of Sandro, adding a layer of history to the interpretation. The album itself is characterized by mixing original compositions, such as the hit Tu amor or Vampiro (with Gustavo Cerati on guitars), with these reinterpretations of classics.
The context of the recording of Tango 4 occurs at a particular moment for Charly García. In 1991, at 39 years old, the musician went through a period of hospitalization due to addiction problems, but still had musical commitments to fulfill. In addition to Sandro, the album featured the participation of figures like Alfredo Alcón, who reads biblical texts in Treinta denarios, and Jorge Luz in Cucamonga dance. The duration of Rompan todo is 3 minutes and 59 seconds, a time that allows for the development of the energy of this version of Break It All. Carlos Alberto García Moreno, known as Charly García, is a central figure in Argentine music, founder of emblematic bands like Sui Géneris and Serú Girán, and with an extensive solo career that has consolidated him as a rock reference.
