Desenchufado

Joining the trend of acoustic concerts of the era, León revisited his repertoire in a stripped-down format that highlighted the quality of his compositions and his own instrumental skill as a guitarist and harmonica player. The album is a testament to the timelessness of his classics, which sound just as powerful and moving when the artifice of traditional electric production is removed.

The recording captured the warmth of the interaction with the audience and the intimate atmosphere that León naturally generates in his performances in theaters and smaller venues throughout the country and abroad as well. Songs like 'La memoria' (in preliminary versions) and 'Sólo le pido a Dios' acquired a sacred dimension in this acoustic context, allowing the word to be the absolute protagonist of the musical evening.

This work was a massive commercial success, confirming that León's essence lies in his ability to tell stories with a guitar and a non-negotiable truth before his audience of all ages and social classes possible. Unplugged is an essential album for understanding the strength of Argentine popular song in its purest state, stripped of passing or commercial fads.
