Considered the definitive concept album by the band, Don Leopardo narrates the stories and experiences of a mythical character through a wide range of rhythms, from murga to hard rock. The album is an ambitious work, with over twenty tracks that create their own universe full of marginal characters, murky love stories, and a sharp political critique.
Songs like 'Espíritu de esta selva' and 'Mi caramelo' showcased the group's ability to create universal melodies without losing their characteristic rough-edged and provocative identity. The recording was a display of instrumental creativity, with the participation of numerous guest musicians who contributed textures of violins, accordions, and an increasingly sophisticated and powerful percussion.
This album marked the end of their independent phase and the beginning of their relationship with major record labels, which would allow them to make the definitive leap toward continental mass appeal. Don Leopardo is a fundamental work for understanding Bersuit's evolution toward a totalizing sound that embraced all of Argentine popular culture with an overflowing and contagious passion.
