fute-ball

Many of Bersuit’s lyrics pack the punch of poetry and their music can be as moving as that of the best bands.

Toco y me voy is likely my favorite of theirs, a wonderful tribute to soccer – a sport I don’t even follow.

On a related note, the recent movie Rudo y Cursi is a happy reflection on celebrity, football and sibling rivalry. I most enjoyed Guillermo Francella in the role of a middle-aged talent agent and wisecracking hedonist.
