Luca

The song 'Luca' by Divididos is a heartfelt tribute to Luca Prodan, the iconic frontman of the Argentine rock band Sumo. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Luca's life and legacy, capturing the essence of his influence on the Argentine music scene. The song opens with a metaphor, comparing Luca to a song that resonates in the heart's wind, suggesting his enduring impact and the way his music continues to echo in the hearts of his fans.

The lyrics also highlight Luca's journey and transformation. Described as a 'fuelle tano' (an Italian bellows), Luca is depicted as someone who embraced the Argentine culture, breathing in the pampas and becoming a 'porteño' (a resident of Buenos Aires). This imagery reflects Luca's Italian heritage and his deep connection to Argentina, where he found his true home and made a significant mark with his music.

The song also touches on themes of solitude and love, with Luca being portrayed as a solitary figure with his own set of rules and absences. The mention of 'vermú' (vermouth) and the 'subte línea D' (subway line D) adds a layer of local color, grounding Luca's story in the everyday life of Buenos Aires. The repeated plea to not 'ponerse azul' (get blue) suggests a desire to remember Luca with joy rather than sadness. The imagery of moving from the bar to the sky, and from the bar to the ground, symbolizes the highs and lows of Luca's life, ultimately celebrating his spirit that continues to live on 'in the wind.'
