Originated in Mataderos, a humble quartier of Buenos Aires, they started playing small gigs in the neighbourhood. In 1993 A Dónde Me Lleva La Vida was released, which was independently produced, but the requirement to fulfill the public's demand persuaded the band to sign with a major label, PolyGram, with the firm position of not losing artistic independence.

Cuándo Vendrán
La Renga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que nos da toda una vida de ventaja.
Tu empresa líder funciona bien en el caos
inventando analgésicos para poder seguir,
cuando el mundo no tiene respuestas
o se vuelve incomprensible,
yo sigo acá, insoportablemente vivo.
hoy tendría un instinto noble a cambio de esta pena
y si la ruta me va dejando
será que un buscador nunca llegará a destino.
Cuando el mundo no tiene respuesta
o se vuelve incomprensible,
recuerda que un guerrero toma todo como un desafío.
Cuándo vendrán los días de sol
y no tener más esa nube en el cielo.
Cuándo vendrán las noches de estrellas
y no tener más en mi casa ese techo.
Cuando vendrá la canción primitiva
y no tener más sobre mi corazón una cabeza.
In La Renga's song "Cuándo Vendrán," the lyrics seem to reflect on the bitterness and frustration of life - how it can be difficult to find meaning and purpose amidst chaos and uncertainty. The first verse speaks about death being so certain to come that it gives death a lifetime of advantage, while the second verse muses about the possibility of having a more noble sense of purpose if we had learned to be more like animals from the start. The chorus, which repeats the question "when will the days of sun come," seems almost to be a plea or a longing for a better tomorrow, a day when the singer can finally be free from the burdens of life.
The song's lyrics also touch on topics like the struggles of modern society and the feelings of alienation that many people experience. The line "Your leading company functions well in chaos, inventing painkillers to keep going" seems to be calling out the pharmaceutical industry for profiting off of people's pain, while "knowing that the world has no answers, or turns incomprehensible" speaks to the existential dread that many people feel when faced with the enormity of the universe.
Overall, "Cuándo Vendrán" seems to be a reflection on the never-ending search for meaning and purpose in life, as well as a reminder to stay strong in the face of difficulty and to keep questioning the world around us.

Fueron mas de 14 horas de viaje desde Chile 🇨🇱 para poder acompañarlos en esta hermosa gira por Fuengirola, Barcelona y Londres, en donde por primera vez, después de mas de 15 años, pude darles un abrazo y charlar unas palabras con Chizzo, Tete, Tanque y Manu. Para ellos será sólo un momento, para mi, será para toda la vida. Estoy contento de hacerles saber que un chileno viajó desde tan lejos para poder verlos desde un poco más de cerca, al igual que muchos hermanos argentinos. Espero tenerlos pronto por estos lados, pero en dónde quiera que sea el proximo banquete, ahí estaremos. Desde Chile, siempre a tu lado.
