'Rodolfo "Fito"Paez' is an Argentine popular rock and roll pianist, lyricist, Spanish language singer and film director.

The demo of that album earned him the praise of Luis Alberto Spinetta, as well as a partnership -- Paez's next album, 1986's "La La La" was a duet with Spinetta. The duo supported that album with a tour that reached all the way to Santiago, Chile. The same year, he participated in the Thousand Days of Democracy festival with Spinetta, Juan Carlos Baglietto, Silvina Garre and Antonio Tarrago Ros.

Paez got his first taste of production work with "Ey!", which was released in 1988. Recorded in New York and Havana, it also showcased many of the musicians that he had worked with previously, including Guillermo Vadala, Daniel Colombres and Osvaldo Fattoruso. It also featured the trumpeters and saxophonists of the group, Afrocuba. Less harsh than his previous recording, it was one of his most balanced records. "Tercer Mundo", released in 1990, explores Latin American cultural influences and showed the harsh world of poverty and exploitation.
