Wine, Tears, and Legends: My Dream Jam Session with Gus & La Negra

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

Hands down: Gustavo Cerati y Mercedes Sosa.

Let me explain. Imagínate this: I’m in a cozy little cantina, una copita de vino in hand, y de repente bam! ahí están ellos—Gus Adrián y la Negra Sosa. ¿Qué hago? Pues, I’m forcing both of them to teach me the phonetics de Zona de Promesas. Line by line, word by word, porque I need to feel that song in my soul, not just sing it.

Fast forward a couple of copitas más, ya estamos todos a bit tipsy. That’s when I would politely demandok, beg—Mercedes to sing Gracias a la Vida de Violeta Parra. No hay forma de que eso no termine con lágrimas (obviamente las mías), porque that song hits hard.

And then, Gus—mi querido Gustavo—would have one job: to lean in close and sing Amo Dejarte Así right in my ear. Porque si no me canta esa canción, entonces ¿para qué lo traigo del pasado, ah?

In this imaginary hangout, I’m pretty sure I’d cry, laugh, and maybe even forget how to speak full sentences. Pero, honestly, spending an evening with these legends would be the most beautiful chaos ever.

What about you? ¿Quién sería tu dream historical duo?

Graciasss Totales 😝
