Has a friend of mine ever Fito Páez He said he received a call from the Argentine artist after a performance in Chile, a call where it was clear that Páez was very drunk and was saying a lot of incoherent things. The funny thing is that the artist never hung up the phone and the hotel bill increased stratospherically because of it.
Seeing Days of smiles, wine, and flowers, In Fito's new video, filmed in New York, we see a night of excess and loneliness, filled with alcohol, doubts in front of the computer, and solitary dancing. Scenes that leave us wondering if they're meant to evoke pity, vicarious embarrassment, a knowing glance between rebels, or simple sympathy in the viewer. It's not for us to assume a hypocritical moral stance and judge. The brilliant thing about the video is that it perfectly conveys what the song tells us., A feeling of nostalgia for the lost soul, a sentiment no one can ignore. And (to put it bluntly) that's what infuriates us most about that shameless bastard Páez: We can admire him, we can detest him, But we cannot fail to recognize that he knows how to express that melancholy better than the vast majority of musicians out there.
While we spread countless lies and truths about this artist, he brazenly continues to fill concert halls and is still celebrated. His songs defend and exalt him. And all that success still allows him to pay for expensive long-distance calls filled with whining and snoring.
