Background notes
Archive material and source history
El Morro formed in Buenos Aires in 1996, with Christian Basso on vocals, Federico Maldonado on guitar, Martín Mendez on bass, and Marcelo Uriona on drums. Their song 'Prefiero El Futbol (Comprendes Mendez)' became a soccer anthem that caught on quickly, mixing rock and reggae with Latin rhythms.
They put out albums like 'El Morro' in 1997, 'El Ritmo del Barrio' in 2000, and 'En Vivo en Obras' in 2003. Other tracks like 'El Mono de Alambre' and 'A Mi Papa' show their range beyond the stadium chant. Their live shows were known for being energetic, sometimes too much so for venues to handle.
Over time their sound shifted some, but they kept touring and recording. The band worked with artists including Manu Chao, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Calle 13. 'Prefiero El Futbol' stayed their calling card, a song about soccer that also touched on everyday life in the city.
