Asado y Fernet

Los Caligaris' song 'Asado y Fernet' is a vibrant celebration of Argentine culture, particularly the cherished traditions of sharing an asado (barbecue) and drinking Fernet, a popular herbal spirit. The repetitive and catchy lyrics emphasize the communal aspect of these activities, inviting everyone to come together, enjoy good food, and share in the joy of each other's company. The song's playful tone and humorous interjections add to the festive atmosphere, making it a perfect anthem for gatherings and parties.

The lyrics also highlight the importance of inclusivity and camaraderie. Lines like 'Hagamo' una vaca, juntemo' la plata' (Let's buy a cow, let's gather the money) and 'No va a haber problema si se acaba el hielo' (There won't be a problem if the ice runs out) suggest that everyone contributes to the event, and any potential issues are met with creative solutions. This reflects the Argentine spirit of resourcefulness and the value placed on community and togetherness.

Moreover, the song humorously addresses different preferences and personalities within the group, such as the vegetarian friend who is still welcome at the barbecue. This inclusivity underscores the idea that the asado is not just about the food and drink but about the people and the shared experience. The repeated calls to 'Hagamo' un asado, tomemo' Fernet' serve as a rallying cry for unity and celebration, making the song a joyful ode to friendship and Argentine cultural traditions.
