Lamento Boliviano is without a
doubt one of the greatest classics in the history of Spanish rock and is
also the Latin American song and one with the most streams on digital
platforms. The song was originally recorded by the Argentine band Alcohol Etílico and was superbly immortalized in 1994 by Los Enanitos Verdes. Nearly two decades later, and asserting the strength of South American rock, the Argentine band Turf releases a new version that unites their magic and vibrancy with that of the Mexican group DLD.
Danceable, modern, and
with a good dose of psychedelia, the song preserves all the power of its
catharsis in order to become the new official single from Turf’s upcoming studio project, from which they have already released the singles Gatitas y Ratones, Malas decisions, Cuál? and Voy dejando atrás.
The song was artistically produced by Juanchi Baleirón and was mixed and mastered by Álvaro Villagra at
the Del Abasto Monsterland studios in General Rodríguez, Buenos Aires,
Argentina. The engineer Alberto Rodriguez was in charge of DLD’s recording in Mexico.
Joaquín Levinton, Turf’s front man, says:“We played Lamento live for the first time a few years ago with Felipe Staiti, the guitarist from Los Enanitos Verdes.
It was a spontaneous encounter, very magical, and the song almost felt
like our own. Time passed and the idea came about to play it during
shows, and the audience’s response was so joyous that we decided to
record it. We’re also very happy about DLD’s participation. They’re an
incredible band, we love them, and this is the first time that we’ve
recorded with a Mexican group.”
