“The series

.

Fito Páez's life was very turbulent and hard hit.

”says Iván Hochman, born in 1994. Two years after Fito released

: the best-selling album in the history of Argentine popular music.

Skinny, tall, dark-haired,

.

He encompasses it in his looks and his corporeality.

The dreams of him, fears and pains of him.

His talent without brake inside and outside of rock.

And the actress and model Micaela Riera, born in 1991, achieved

.

Together -Fito and Fabiana, Iván and Micaela-

.

“I feel happy to have been part of this series.

It will be a before and after in Argentine productions”, Riera swears.

The fiction was created by Juan Pablo Kolodziej and produced by him and Mariano Chihade (both are partners in Mandarina TV) together with Netflix.

The different stages of the series

The Fito of childhood, in his native Rosario, is played by Gaspar Offenhenden.

Temporarily, it covers since Fito arrived from Rosario with the Trova Rosarina and

.

It shows scenes of the

to decide to add him as a keyboard player to the presentation of

(1983) and the recording of

(1984).

Right there, Fito would meet that intelligent and beautiful showgirl he fell in love with: Fabiana Cantilo.

-Hochman:

This series touches the sensibilities of people of different generations.

, with my parents.

There are people who were going to see Fito in Vélez Sarsfield that same year and there are young people who are meeting Fito again today.

"The series was a very ambitious project:

and night shows. I am proud of the work that the cast did. And the work that the technical teams did with the scenery, the changing rooms, for this incredible vintage trip", acknowledges the fictional Fito.

There is a committed composition work on the main characters, like Hochman's.

Love after love

offers strategic scenes from shows and mythical recordings of Fito, Charly and company.

It offers hints of his first solo albums:

, from 1984, and

, from 1985. He evokes that first meeting with Luis Alberto Spinetta, on the street, which led to a friendship and a double key album:

, from 1986. And the exponential sound evolution of Fito until

.

But the goal of the Netflix series

.

Along with the rocker from the '80s,

, in Rosario (played by

), with a founding pain: his mother Margarita Ávalos -concertist piano player- had died of liver cancer when he was just eight months.

Fito grew up with that absence

, in the midst of piano studies and all the records that his father, Rodolfo Páez,

, made him listen to, and which

plays , in an absolutely serious, unforgettable register.

His acceptance and his departure will also be decisive for the adult Fito.

Fabi, Charly and Fito: a delicious scene.

From national rock and from the series too.

Back in the '80s,

: the brutal murder in 1986 of his grandmother Delma Zulema Ramírez de Páez, of his great-aunt Josefa Páez -who had raised him-, along with Fermina Godoy, the employee, who was pregnant.

Fito was on tour in Rio de Janeiro and had a catharsis with whiskey, pills and the furniture of the hotel room

.

The condensation of a time of multiple excesses, which

.

The police vicissitudes of the case will also have their axis in

and will be gravitating, even creatively.

Fito in one of the worst moments of his life: the murder of his grandmother and his aunt.

The lights and shadows without half measures

-Hochman:

Fito went through his greatest darkness with a lot of light, with a lot of love, surrounding himself with beautiful people who supported him.

And

of him.

Music was a grounding cable for Fito and he always supported it.

-Riera:

Fabi also had a hectic and very dark life.

But she constantly came back to the surface.

Today I see Fabi, such a bright and free person, and I feel very proud of her.

Because I know everything she lived through.

-What did the real Fito Páez and Fabiana Cantilo tell you?

-Hochman:

Mica and I had interactions with Fito and Fabi at key moments.

:

. "

We also talked about his hands, his piano playing, and that shaped my own bond with the piano on the show.

Fito in Luna Park.

It didn't take long for the stadium to fill up.

-Riera

:

.

She told me absolutely everything.

I felt her freedom to let me create, but whenever I needed to, I picked up her phone and called her to ask her questions.

Fabi was a love with me.

-If you had to choose a key moment for you, together, in the series, what would it be?

-Riera:

For me a scene in the street, when I get on Fito's shoulders.

Suddenly Fabiana is very happy, then she gets angry, gets into a taxi and starts talking to herself.

.

For me it is the exact representation.

-Hochman:

I choose the sequence shot with which the presentation of the

album is narrated , at Luna Park on December 6, 1985.

.

Fito and Fabi playing their best melody on an imaginary keyboard.

She describes: "Fabiana arrives late at Luna and then reappears changed, ready to sing. Magically she is always there. Before going on stage,

. For me that gesture is like saying:

.

The aura of the '80s and who's who

In tune with these times of retro fanaticism for the '80s,

.

Not only because of the hairstyles, the setting or the production design.

There is also a range of red, green and yellow tones

.

The love of the '90s: Cecilia Roth (Daryna Butryk) and Fito, a story that began in Punta del Este.

Charly García from the '80s is played by Andy Chango

, in a compromised register, although

(especially in his voice), but which does not attenuate the power of his encounter with Fito.

Luis

.

His hairstyles and movements are exact and, although he doesn't look like him, he imitates his voice very well.

And

Joaquín Baglietto.

Various actors recreate the key artists and bands of the '80s: Virus, Los Twist, Don Cornelio y la Zona, Andrés Calamaro, Sandra y Celeste, Fabián Gallardo, Alejandro Urdapilleta, Tweety González, Batato Barea and many surprises.

Like the fragments and quotes from songs:

When Fito and Fabi are separated,

embodies her

, also in scenes of great chemistry, in Buenos Aires or Punta del Este, as a prelude to that magnum opus -dedicated to Roth- that will be the album

, from 1992. Right from the that last year they celebrated their thirty years, in the midst of great celebrations.
