Veneno

This song stands out for its blend of rhythms that don't fit into a fixed mold. The track starts with a vibe reminiscent of the sixties, but by the two-minute mark, it veers into darker, stickier territory where the electric guitar and piano intertwine with a rhythmic base that doesn't follow traditional time signatures. It's as if Calamaro had taken a path not on the map, yet in the end, it sounds exactly as it was meant to.

The recording of Veneno happened at a time when Calamaro had already spent years moving between rock, blues, and even groups that imitated The Platters. Before this, he had played keyboards in bands like Raíces in Uruguay, and later with the Chorizo Colorado Blues Band alongside Augusto Gringui Herrera. Later, his path led him to play with musicians like Héctor Zeta Bosio and Gustavo Cerati in projects such as The Morgan and Stress, the latter being the seed of what would later become Los Estereotipos. But here, in Veneno, there are no labels: just a song that sounds like pure experience, recorded without filters so the sound could breathe.
