Historical Context
The article lacks stronger references to the historical context. The album "Victimas del vaciamiento" was released in 1994, after four years of government of president Carlos Saul Menem, and has direct references to the social consequences of his policies. The title of the album could be translated as Victims of the "emptying" and refers to the cuts in health, education and social services, the rising of the unemployment (a consequence of the de-industrialization and the privatization of several state-owned companies) and the reduction of the power of the unions. For example, the song Hospitalarias realidades is a ironic reference to the "non-hospitality" a poor person has to suffer when he has to ask for attention in a public hospital; the song "Olvídalo y volverá por más" refers to the (broken) promises made by Carlos Menem during his political campaign in 1989 (broken when he assumed the presidency and turned 180 degrees to a neoliberal orientation) and the corruption of his administration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.135.39.134 (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, the CD "Víctimas del vaciamiento" is named after a song with that name, included in the first LP, released in 1989. "Olvídalo y volverá por más" does not reference the president, if you check the lyrics you'll notice that the president (a generic one) is mentioned, but not as the main character described. In any case, the song does not reference anyone by name. In fact, except for a few words here and there, the lyrics always talk about generic ideas. "Hospitalarias realidades" for instance, only talks about the lack of medical resources in public hospitals, but does not blame it to anyone's administration. It is a problem that was there years before Menem, and continued that way and worse during Kirchnerism; written in such generic terms the song does not get outdated.
