Formed in 1988 after the death of Luca Prodan and the consequent dissolution of Sumo, Ricardo Mollo (vocals, guitar) and Diego Arnedo (bass guitar) joined drummer Gustavo Collado to form a band named "La División" (The Division), which would be later called "Divididos". (Another band emerged from the ashes of Sumo: Las Pelotas.)

La Aplanadora del Rock is known for mixing rock with Argentine folk music, and hard-to-get lyrics. The most successful point on the band's career came with the 1993 record La era de la boludez.

Other than founding members Mollo and Arnedo, different drummers have completed the normal trio: 1988 to 1990, Gustavo Collado; 1990 to 1995, Federico Gil Solá; 1995 to 2004, Jorge Araujo; and since 2004, Catriel Ciavarella.

The name of the band is taken from Sumo's favourite band and influences (the late Ian Curtis was a good friend of Luca Prodan) - Joy Division.

The band has recorded a number of covers, such as Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix and Light My Fire by The Doors. Covers not committed to CD include I Want You (She's So Heavy) and Day Tripper by The Beatles. In their shows, Divididos has played songs such as "Rock and Roll" and "Moby Dick" (Led Zeppelin), and "Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix). The band also covers some Sumo songs, usually in medley format.

Hay dos jazmines en el cielo
Hay algo allÃ¡ mas alla
Se hace grito en el sonido
Y son la luz de la luz

Hay un infierno en este cielo
Hay un porque en este mar
Cual es el cÃclope del siglo

Cual es la luz de la luz

El papel y la tinta
Son el vuelto de un gran favor
Y mostraste la hilacha
Lavando el traje de papÃ¡

Noticia muere al otro dÃa
Siempre vive la canciÃ³n
En este mundo cocoliche
Sos el mejor
Sos el peor

El papel y la tinta
Son el vuelto de un gran favor
Y mostraste la hilacha
Lavando el traje de papÃ¡

Resabios de un loro que redacta
Regula moral de un porvenir

Congela gente para un maÃ±ana
pasiones zurdas derechas.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Divididos's song Pasiones Zurdas Derechas explore the contrast and tension between different forces in the world. The song begins by talking about two jasmines in the sky, and something beyond that creates a cry in the sound and becomes the light of the light. This sets up the idea of opposing forces existing simultaneously. The next verse discusses the idea of an inferno in this sky and a reason for this sea, alluding to more negative aspects of the world.

The chorus then discusses the idea of paper and ink being the change given as a great favor, and how someone can show their true character by washing their father's suit. This seems to suggest that even small actions can reveal a person's true nature. The bridge then introduces more abstract ideas, like the remnants of a parrot that writes and regulates future morals, as well as freezing people for a tomorrow of left and right passions.
