'''Rodolfo''' "'''Fito'''" '''Páez''' ({{IPA|es|ˈfito ˈpaes}}; born 13 March 1963) is an Argentine [[Latin rock]] musician and filmmaker. A former member of the Trova Rosarina, he is dubbed the "[[Troubadour]] of [[Argentine rock]]" and is considered an important figure in the genre and in [[Latin music]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Acústica |first=Redacción Zona |date=2023-05-10 |title=Fito Páez: el prodigio musical de la Trova Rosarina argentina {{!}} Zona Acústica |url=https://zona-acustica.com/fito-paez-el-prodigio-musical-de-la-trova-rosarina-argentina/ |access-date=2025-01-31 |website=zona-acustica.com |language=es}}</ref>

==Biography==

===Early career===
Páez was born in [[Rosario]], [[Santa Fe Province|Santa Fe]]; his real name is Rodolfo Páez, like his father. When he was a child, people called him "Rodolfito" (in Spanish, the diminutive of masculine names is formed by adding "ito") to distinguish him from Rodolfo, his father. With time, Rodolfito became just "Fito," and that is where his stage name came from.<ref>Symns, Enrique (1995). ''Páez''. Espasa Calpe, Buenos Aires. {{ISBN|978-950-852-099-9}}</ref>

He formed Staff, his first band, when he was 13. In 1977, he played in El Banquete with Rubén Goldín and Jorge Llonch. He began to perform solo in pubs the following year. 

Straight out of high school, he began touring with several bands and, soon after that, produced his first solo album, ''Del '63'', which was released in 1984. It was promoted first in his hometown but later earned attention in [[Buenos Aires]]. The recording was put together with the help of some of Argentina's most prominent musicians, including Daniel Wirtz, Fabián Gallardo, [[Tweety González]] and Paul Dourge. The record won him critical acclaim as a songwriter and helped lead to future projects, including a 1985 album, ''Giros''. The demo of that album earned him the praise of [[Luis Alberto Spinetta]], as well as a partnership – Paez's next album, 1986's ''La La La'' was a duet with Spinetta. The duo supported that album with a tour that reached all the way to [[Santiago, Chile]]. The same year, he participated in the Thousand Days of Democracy festival.

His 1987 recording, ''Ciudad de Pobres Corazones,'' marked a dark, political turn for his work. It was dedicated to the memory of his aunt and grandmother, who were murdered in Rosario. Páez got his first taste of production work with ''Ey!'', which was released in 1988. Recorded in New York City and [[Havana]], it also showcased many musicians with whom he had worked previously.

===1990–present===
[[File:Fito_Páez_junto_a_la_Kashmir_Orchestra_en_el_CCK_-_20133570681.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Páez with the Kashmir Orchestra at the [[Libertad Palace]]]]
''Tercer Mundo,'' released in 1990, explored Latin American cultural influences and the harsh world of poverty and exploitation. It, too, was critically acclaimed, but it was Páez's 1992 album, ''El Amor Después del Amor'' which marked the pinnacle of his commercial success. The album sold more than 750,000 copies, and when Páez toured to support it, he found himself playing sold-out shows for 40,000 people. Shortly after this album's release, he played a benefit concert for [[UNICEF]], which raised more than $420,000.

In 1990, Páez worked as a producer in [[Sandra Mihanovich]] and [[Celeste Carballo]]'s album ''[[Mujer contra mujer (album)|Mujer contra mujer]]''.<ref>{{cite AV media notes |language=es|title=Mujer contra mujer|others=[[Celeste Carballo|Carballo]], [[Sandra Mihanovich|Mihanovich]]|year=1990|location=Argentina|type=[[LP record]]|publisher=[[RCA Records]]|id=TLP-80062}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://sandramihanovich.com/discografia/mujer-contra-mujer-1990/|title=Mujer Contra Mujer|publisher=[[Sandra Mihanovich]], official website|accessdate=February 23, 2022|language=es}}</ref>

The follow-up, ''Circo Beat,'' had impossibly high expectations. Though it had several hit songs, including "Mariposa Technicolor" and "Tema de Piluso," as well as a companion album, ''Circo Beat Brazil'', which featured Brazilian remixes of its hits, it only sold around 350,000 copies. Several other projects were completed in the late '90s, including a live album, ''Euforia'' and 1998's ''Sabina & Páez: Enemigos Intimos'', with [[Joaquín Sabina]]. The year 1999 brought another balanced, superbly produced album, ''[[Abre (album)|Abre]]''. He also took home two Grammys at the first annual [[Latin Grammy Award]]s in fall 2000. He lived with Argentine actress [[Cecilia Roth]] for some years; the couple adopted a child in 1999.

Páez's 2003 album ''Naturaleza sangre'' marked a return to his musical past, featuring appearances from [[Charly García]], [[Luis Alberto Spinetta]] and Brazilian artist [[Rita Lee]] on the previously unreleased version of "Ojos Rojos." In 2006, Páez was given an ''[[escopetarra]]'' (a decommissioned [[AK-47]] converted into a guitar) by Colombian musician and peace activist [[César López (Colombian musician)|César López]] in honor of his music.<ref name="BBC">{{Cite news|title=Escopetarras: disparando música|last=Latorre|first=Héctor|date=24 January 2006|access-date=31 January 2007|publisher=BBC World|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/spanish/misc/newsid_4644000/4644028.stm}}</ref>

The album ''El mundo cabe en una canción'' won the [[Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album]] at the [[Latin Grammy Awards of 2007]]. In 2008 Páez recorded, ''No se si es Baires o Madrid'', in Madrid, Spain. He invited several important musicians such as Pablo Milanés, Joaquín Sabina, and Ariel Rot to participate. In 2010, he released the album ''Confiá..'' In December 2011; he recorded a new album with songs by other artists performed by Páez himself in a release called ''Canciones para áliens.''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sonymusic.com.ar/DetProducto.asp?Pro_Codigo=7995062 |title=Sony Music - FITO PAEZ |website=sonymusic.com.ar |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117074234/http://sonymusic.com.ar/DetProducto.asp?Pro_Codigo=7995062 |archive-date=17 January 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> This album was presented at la Sala Nezahualcoyolt de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
