Artaud

About Artaud

Artaud (French: [aʁto]) is the third and final album by the Argentine rock band Pescado Rabioso, released in 1973 on Talent and Microfón. Although officially credited to Pescado Rabioso, the group had actually broken up by the time the album was recorded, and it is essentially a solo effort by musician Luis Alberto Spinetta. With this in mind, Artaud is considered Spinetta's second studio album as a solo artist. The title of the album refers to the French poet and creator of the Theater of Cruelty, Antonin Artaud, to whom he is dedicated. The concept of the album is influenced by his life and work, and expresses the reaction of Spinetta to it. The song "Cantata de puentes amarillos" was included in the 16th position among the 100 Best Songs in the History of Argentine Rock, in the survey conducted by the site Rock.com.ar. The songs "Bajan", "Por", "Todas las hojas son del viento" and "Cementerio Club" have also been highlighted among the 10 best of the musician. more »
