“It is very difficult to be happy in a place where people spend it up their ass.” The phrase was born from the mouth of Fito Páez himself on his birthday, during a radio interview. The outstanding singer-songwriter from Rosario also assured that he was very excited for having reached this stage of his life well and took advantage of the space to reflect on the situation in the country, while speaking with the journalist and conductor Andy Kusnetzoff .
“I work a lot abroad, I do well, but I live here, my interests are here, my love is here, my love is here, my affectivity is here. So, one feels affected by what happens in the street, beyond the fact that you fill stadiums, ”said Páez.
In his reflection, the artist emphasized “hero people”, the one who “has been living in this country for so many years, enduring so many blows, watching political life circulate as if it were a ghostly parade before her eyes.” Páez also declared that these people have to put up with “corrupt justice, and all the dead that are now beginning to be thrown into politics,” and stated that this is “very sad.” “No one would have wanted, forty years ago when democracy began, a future of this type,” said the musician. “Sorry that I have gotten here, but it is what one feels, and you are not going to fool around, celebrating your birthday as if you were a cake doll”; he added.
Beyond the dense reflection of the Rosario, the sixties come to him at a great moment in his career: he prepares a reissue of “Love after love”, his most successful and best-selling album in the history of rock in Argentina, which will soon be edited again as a tribute, thirty years after its launch. In addition, since last year the artist has been on tour with his tour “Love 30 years after love”which includes dates for Argentina, United States, Venezuela, Spain, Uruguay and Chile.
