Biography
Divididos is an Argentine rock band formed by Ricardo Mollo and Diego Arnedo, former members of the seminal Argentine group Sumo. Divididos is one of two bands that was formed after the death of Sumo frontman Luca Prodan in 1987, the other being Las Pelotas. Ricardo Mollo (guitarist) and Diego Arnedo (bassist) came together with La Sobrecarga drummer Gustavo Collado to form the group La División, which later turned into Divididos. The group released their first album 40 Dibujos Ahà en el Piso in 1989, showcasing a sound that combined the post-punk sound of Sumo with other influences such as folk and blues rock. Shortly after that, Gustavo Collado left the group and was replaced by Federico Gil Solá. Their following album Acariciando lo Ãspero (1991) led them to a greater level of popularity, thanks in part to the success of the song "Cielito Lindo," a cover of a traditional Mexican ballad. As their reputation grew, the band began playing at larger venues such as the iconic Obras Sanitarias stadium. Their next album, La Era de la Boludez, (1993) was produced by famed multi-instrumentalist and composer Gustavo Santaolalla and featured the hit single "Qué Ves?." The song would eventually become one of their most successful tracks, sending its parent album to the top of the charts in Argentina. They followed this with other critically acclaimed albums such as Otroletravaladna (1995), Gol de Mujer (1998), Narigón del Siglo (2000), Vengo del Placard de Otro (2002), and Amapola del 66 (2010). In 2011, Divididos won multiple prestigious Carlos Gardel Awards, including Best Rock Group Album, Production of the Year, and Album of the Year. In 2022, they released their album Experiencia 432 (BulÃn Finoli), featuring reworkings of some of their biggest hits. The next chapter of the bandâs story included a major 35th-anniversary celebration at Estadio Vélez Sarsfield in Buenos Aires in May 2023, a three-hour show before more than 40,000 people with guests such as La Renga and Gustavo Santaolalla that fed into the live album Divididos en Vélez â Agradecer y Seguir, released in December 2023. Around the same time, their 2022 live record Tilcara: El Recital earned a Premios Gardel win for Best Live Album, and in 2024 Divididos en Vélez â Agradecer y Seguir itself received the Gardel for Best Live Album, while the band took its 35 Años de Rock tour across Argentina, Chile and Spain, including shows in Barcelona and Madrid. On the studio side, they continued a long, incremental writing process that had begun with standalone singles like âMundo ganado,â âInsomnio,â âCabalgata Deportivaâ and âSan SaltarÃnâ; the latter, released as a single in 2023, won the 2024 Premios Gardel award for Best Rock Song. All of these tracks were finally gathered on Divididos, their first studio album of new material since Amapola del '66, recorded at their La Calandria studio between 2019 and 2025 with guests such as piper Santiago Molina and arranger Nicolás SorÃn and presented to fans at a listening event and documentary screening at Movistar Arena in November 2025.
