Rodolfo “Fito” Páez, el trovador del rock argentino, is an undisputed legend of Argentinian Rock Nacional. On the fifth of July, 2025, he performed at the Palau Sant Jordi Basketball arena in Barcelona as part of his Páez Teknicolor tour, and the lovely M and I were there, along with a significant percentage of Catalonia’s Argentinian population.

Twenty-some years ago he played a major role in restoring my faith in Rock music after years of Nu Metal and Post-Grunge had pretty well convinced me to look elsewhere, and ever since I’ve regarded him as a kind of kindred spirit who seems to like a lot of the same music I do for a lot of the same reasons that I like it.
