Fernando Ruiz Díaz in Caja Negra: “With Abril we felt that Gaby had joined Catupecu Machu”

The legendary Argentine musician of Catupecu Machu and Vanthra arrives at the cycle of interviews conducted by Julio Leiva to have an intimate talk. With hits like “Magia Veneno”, “A Veces Vuelvo” or “En Los Sueños”, Catupecu got into the DNA of Argentine music. Fer Ruiz Díaz is part of the great history of rock and now he is preparing to put a tremendous SHOW on June 24 in the arena of Villa Crespo.La loss of his brother Gabriel represented a great pain for the scene and for the artist: “I did not want to join Catupecu Machu, deep down I thought never again. Life is very long and you reincarnate a lot of times.” Julio: I heard you say that what is happening with Catupecu is like a reincarnation. But I wanted to ask you what you reincarnated incarnated, beyond the band that the band is you too, but you in particular, what do you plan to reincarnate now? Fernando: I crossed seas, storms, fires and seas of fire. I imagine that all lives will be like this, I can talk about mine. I have gone through a lot of things and a lot of reincarnations. The other time I talked about it with Catriel, who was here with you, and that I love him and that I love his art. He thanked me for this that I told him, ‘Life is very long.’ We always have a deception. I realized as a kid that life was very long because of the amount of things I had already lived. And this reincarnation, maybe it’s the reincarnation of my life and it took me by surprise. I always live in the present. The only strong melancholy I have is that my brother Gabriel was alive.” Success and his work”I have an endless amount of success. But because I am lucky to have worked with a lot of passion. I love the word work because it’s beating demons every day. You find songs, you take a motorcycle trip, you do thousands of kilometers and you applaud for arriving alive. Be pretty good dad. There are a lot of hits that people know, which are songs that I did and hopefully continue to do. I feel successful because every day, in these 54 years, were adventures.” Relationship of Catupecu Machu and Lila, his daughter”I did not want to join Catupecu Machu. And suddenly Catupecu came and Lila was the same. I didn’t want to be a father, and it was the biggest thing that happened in my life. Many people have a child to supply something. If I die now in this interview, I have all the dreams fulfilled and the dream I didn’t have, which was to be a father, is the greatest thing that happened to me and my life is great every day.” If we go to the black box of your life, what is the moment that makes you the person you are today?: “What matters most to me in my life, the only thing almost, are my daughter Lila and music. Every day of my life I wake up, I fall asleep and always with music in my head.” Towards the end of the interview the black box opens. An unexpected challenge begins. Week by week a figure will be submitted to the living room to dialogue and reflect. And you, do you dare to remember what moment made a click in your life?
