Andrés Ciro and Piti Fernández, together once more (Captura Flow)
“I just ask that they get back together.” The cry of nostalgic fans has no name or shirt and is more a nod to the past than a complaint to the present, and applies as much to the shows of Indio Solari or Skay Beilinson in reference to Los Redondos as it does to those of Ciro and Los Persas. , in reference to Los Piojos. The El Palomar group broke up 14 years ago and since then their followers have dreamed, if not of the band’s return, at least of one last ritual.
Increasingly settled in his project with the Persians, Andrés Ciro Martínez appeared this Saturday at the Vélez Stadium, with sold out seats, as had happened a year ago. And in a repertoire full of nods to lousy old men – “Angelito”, “Llevatelo”, “Cruel”, the not so usual “Motumbo” – approaching the end of the show he presented an old acquaintance that generated an immediate explosion in the audience.
“I’m going to invite an old friend to sing a song that he composed,” Andrés announced before doing so by name. “Piti Fernández”. The reference to the guitarist of Los Piojos, with whom he had had some public exchanges following his departure from the group and subsequent separation, surprised and generated an immediate chorus of thousands of souls with the usual saying, a cross of complaint and expression of wishes.
The song in question was “Bicho de ciudad”, one of the hits from Civilización, the group’s last studio album (2007). “I want to dedicate it to Ale’s mother, who really liked this song,” said the singer in relation to the mother of her youngest son. He hugged the composer of the hymn, a hug that all the louses were waiting for, and started the song. Piti sang the chorus parts, played with the Persian guitarists (Juan Gigena Ábalos and Rodrigo Pérez), put his hand on his heart, held back his tears as long as he might. Ciro, naturally with the lead voice and accompanied with percussion and emotion. The fans sang it louder than ever, some with tears, feeling that they were exerting strength to make his wishes come true.

“Thank you Ciro, thank you Persas,” Piti said at the end, pointing to the host, his manager and his band. But he didn’t leave, and he added his electric guitar for another of the Palomar group’s latest hits, “Pacífico.” Now, a new hug, the one that waited 15 years, and the concert continued as planned. Where this reunion will lead, no one knows.
Daniel Piti Fernández left Los Piojos in September 2008, following almost 20 years in which they became one of the most popular groups in Argentine rock. The band announced it in a statement on their official website: “Dear Piojosos: We want to tell you something that is going around like a rumor, and that is important for you to know first-hand, without intermediaries: Piti Fernández left the band,” the band explained. written.”His decision was painful – the text continued – for all of us and, in some way, also surprising. But, far from what some may think, everything is fine between us. And that is the most important. Piti’s intention, as he told us, would be to continue in music with another project. We wish him the best.”
The project in question is La Franela, a band with which Piti released five albums. Less than a year later, Los Piojos gave their last show, also in a surprising way, on April 30, 2009. Each of the musicians continued their path, with some media short circuits, other reunions, and the painful death of guitarist Gustavo Kupinski in 2011, in a traffic accident. Starting tonight, perhaps, a new stage begins.
