Masacre En El Puticlub

Los Redonditos de Ricota, an iconic Argentine rock band, are known for their provocative and often cryptic lyrics. 'Masacre En El Puticlub' is no exception, painting a vivid and chaotic scene of violence and mayhem in a nightclub. The song opens with a reference to a 'pipa del 9,' likely a 9mm gun, which sets off a massacre. The imagery of 'pastilla' (pill) and 'tren gladiador' (gladiator train) suggests a mix of drug-induced frenzy and brutal combat, culminating in an explosion of violence.

The chorus, 'Rock fuerte en el puticlub,' underscores the intensity and chaos of the scene. The phrase 'cambió la suerte del puticlub' (changed the luck of the nightclub) implies a dramatic and irreversible shift, likely for the worse. The second verse continues with graphic descriptions of violence, mentioning 'buena faena de tajo y talón' (good job of cut and heel) and 'ruedan los dientes del negro cañón' (the teeth of the black cannon roll). These lines evoke a sense of relentless brutality and the physical toll of the massacre.

The song also touches on the futility and desperation of the nightclub's patrons, referred to as 'los impacientes del puticlub' (the impatient ones of the nightclub). Their time and health are wasted in this violent environment. The mention of 'el gas coreano' (Korean gas) arriving from the north and ending everything adds a surreal and apocalyptic element to the narrative. The final repetition of 'Rock fuerte en el puticlub' serves as a grim reminder of the chaos that unfolded, leaving listeners with a haunting image of the nightclub's tragic fate.
