Pity Pity Pity
Today, in the neighborhood and beyond, a major event is celebrated: 52 years have passed since the birth of Cristian Gabriel Álvarez, better known as “Pity.” This character, a true mass idol and uncrowned king, became a national rock legend.
Since his youth, “Pity” was eloquent with his lyrics full of truth and rebellion. Through his music, what many kids felt in their hearts was expressed. With his bands, Viejas Locas and Intoxicados, he tore it up on every stage, leaving a mark that cannot be erased.
Despite the problems and setbacks in his personal life, “Pity” remained a misunderstood genius. His followers, loyal as few, continue to sing along to his songs and remember anecdotes from unforgettable concerts.
On this special day, glasses are raised and a toast is made in his honor. The essence of “Pity”, with his raspy voice and his street poetry, remains alive in the hearts of those who admired him and continue to admire him.
Cheers, “Pity”! May you continue to rock in our hearts and may your spark never go out.
