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. Polygram being only in charge of the manufacture and distribution of discs.

El Viento Que Todo Empuja
La Renga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y supe que hay algo más que percibir
En este mundo que todo lo muele y desgarra
Perdido por perdido ya ves da lo mismo vivo o muerto
Pero tu alma es otra cosa, tu alma es la que te mueve
Tu alma es mi razón, tu alma es la fuerza
Hoy cualquiera puede morir sin saber como fue vivir
Yo sólo espero sin dormirme en mis sueños
Estar tan lejos de esta ignorancia
Y es que sólo eso, sólo eso
Despierta en mí el viento que todo empuja
Sólo eso, sólo eso
Que más puedo esperar, sólo eso
Y mi mirada puede ver por la rejilla de tus ojos
Para espiar tu corazón que se
Quedó con un pedazo de mi vida
Al tiempo que yo brote de tu sangre
Hoy que no hay tiempo que perder
Que todo anda a reloj
Que se destruye sin razón
Y la vida muere en un discurso
Y alguien se encarga de encerrarte
Y otro prepara el fin del mundo
Y tan lejana queda la esencia
Que sólo el hecho de encontrarte para mí
Le da sentido a mi vida
Y es que sólo eso, sólo eso
Despierta en mí el viento que todo empuja
Sólo eso, sólo eso
Que más puedo esperar, sólo eso
In El Viento Que Todo Empuja, La Renga sings about finding hope and purpose amidst a world that can be cruel and destructive. The first verse speaks about stopping to notice someone's gaze that "rips the veil of pain." This could be interpreted as finding someone who sees the world in a different way and helps to alleviate the hardships and suffering one might experience. The song continues to speak about the importance of the soul and how it is what moves us and gives us strength. Even though life can be difficult and dangerous, there is something more profound that makes living worthwhile.
The second verse speaks about the passage of time and the urgency to find meaning before it is too late. People can be marginalized or trapped while others seemingly push towards the end of the world. However, it is the connection to others and the search for something beyond the surface level that makes living meaningful. The chorus, "sólo eso, sólo eso, despierta en mí el viento que todo empuja" can be translated to "only that, only that, wakes up in me the wind that pushes everything." The wind can be interpreted as a driving force that propels people forward towards their goals and values. The final lines speak about finding meaning in connecting with others and searching for a sense of purpose.

Llueve acá en Mar Azul en la mañana del domingo. La Renga sigue subiendo videos... Primer recital con mi compañera actual. Fuimos en tren a Rosario, paramos de un amigo unos días. Desde los 16 años que voy, tengo 42. Novias que nunca mas vi, amigos que ya no están, otros que si pero ya no vienen, algunos que vienen cada tantos años..Alguna vez no llegamos a Córdoba pq nos allanaron...Alguna vez alguno se volvió en un remis de San Pedro..alguna vez nos comimos un palazo en Santa fe o en La Plata. Frio, calor, lluvia, pista de barro, excesos. Autos, micros, trenes.... Me pude sacar dos fotos con el Tete y fue lo máximo. Me hice una manga entera de La renga. Esperando el próximo banquete que me quede cerca para decir presente. LA Renga es esto.. La vida nuestra..nuestras historias recorriendo el país a lo largo de los años. Renga de mi vida, Renga de mi corazón. GRACIAS
