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.
Vientito de Tucuman
Divididos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vientito del Tucumán
llevala por esos montes
pero en forma de cantar
Mi copla tiene un paisaje
de camino y soledad
tiene el color del silencio
del llanto tiene la sal ay, ay, ay
dormidos en el lugar
pero se llenan de coplas
y así aprenden a volar
ay, ay, ay
Ayer vine y hoy me alejo
destino del caminar
en algo nos parecemos
vientito del Tucumán
ayer vine y hoy me alejo
destino del caminar
en algo nos parecemos
vientito del Tucumán
ay, ay, ay
This song is an ode to the wind of Tucumán, a province in Argentina. The singer addresses the wind and asks it to take away their pain, but in the form of a song, a copla. The copla that the singer carries with them is a reflection of the landscapes, loneliness, and silence of the road. The song is melancholic and speaks of the tears shed along the way.
The lyrics describe the mountains as serene and still, but as they fill with coplas, they learn to fly. It's a metaphorical representation of how their pain and sorrow are transformed into something beautiful and hopeful through music. The singer acknowledges that they've arrived yesterday and today they're leaving. They're resigned to the fact that their destiny is to keep moving and that's something they share with the Tucumán wind.
