Released in the midst of the Falklands War, it is a mostly acoustic album that compiles songs written by Spinetta between 1965 and 1982. The title and theme of the album refer to sacrifice for a noble cause, a concept that resonated strongly in the country's wartime context. The recording at Del Cielito studios provided a warm and intimate atmosphere to the compositions.
The album contains the iconic 'Barro tal vez', a zamba composed by Luis Alberto at age 15 that became a standard of folk-rock. It also includes songs like 'Kamikaze' and 'Ella también', where the acoustic guitar and Spinetta's voice reach celestial levels of expressiveness. It is a work that moves away from the electric sound of his previous bands to focus on the purity of the song.
It is considered one of the most beautiful and significant albums in the history of national rock for its lyrical depth and formal simplicity. It represents the essence of Spinetta as a singer-songwriter, capable of moving with the minimum and elevating popular music to the category of high poetry. Its legacy is an invitation to reflection and to the courage of maintaining artistic integrity above all else.
