Twenty-five years after its initial release, Bersuit Vergarabat is revisiting its landmark 2000 album Hijos del Culo with a 20-track live recording and an international anniversary tour, infobae.com reported. Produced originally by Gustavo Santaolalla, the double-platinum album chronicled neighborhood characters against a backdrop of impending social crisis in Argentina. To mark the milestone, the band recorded a fresh live production featuring guest artists across generations, including Lali, Luck Ra, Nahuel Pennisi, and Lisandro Aristimuño, according to cronica.com.ar and somoscitrica.com.
Recreating the Iconic Album Cover With Its Original Subject
The anniversary project brings back the exact visual identity of the 2000 release by featuring the same cover model, Agustina, who was photographed by Salvador Batalla as a child. The band located her abroad, and she agreed to return for the commemorative shoot. The updated package pairs this returning imagery with new arrangements of historic tracks like Desconexión Sideral,
Toco y me voy,
Negra Murguera,
and La Bolsa.

The 20-track live release incorporates diverse guest artists chosen for their specific stylistic affinities with the band’s eclectic catalog. somoscitrica.com reported that Lali participates on El viento trae una copla,
Luck Ra joins on Toco y me voy,
and Francisco Lago of Cruzando el Charco appears on Murguita del Sur.
Additional contributions feature Lisandro Aristimuño on Veneno de humanidad,
