Under the masterful production of Gustavo Santaolalla, Bersuit reached their definitive maturity and massive commercial success that transformed them into the most important band of national rock at the end of the century. Libertinaje is a perfect album, with an impeccable sound that managed to amalgamate rock power with cumbia, cuarteto, and chacarera in an organic and revolutionary way.
The album contains anthems like 'Sr. Cobranza', 'El viejo de arriba', and 'Yo tomo', songs that became the soundtrack of an Argentina that was beginning to awaken from its lethargy with fury and street joy. Santaolalla's hand is noticeable in the economy of arrangements and in the sonic clarity that allowed Cordera and company's lyrics to reach every home without filters but with elegance.
The success of this album was a sociological phenomenon, uniting disparate social classes under the ritual of pajamas and fierce criticism of the political and economic system of the time. Libertinaje not only changed the band's history, but redefined the limits of what was considered 'rock' in Argentina, opening the doors to a rhythmic fusion that would dominate the scene for the following decade.
