Pity Álvarez Unveils 'Lejos de Ser' With Luis Ortega–Directed Video

The release underscores a high‑profile comeback unfolding under a suspended criminal case.

Overview

  • Pity Álvarez released the single Lejos de ser on Thursday with a cinema‑style video directed by filmmaker Luis Ortega and featuring Rodrigo de la Serna and Camila Peralta after about ten months of production.
  • The video blends dark humor and religious imagery with a storyline about an attempted assassination, as the chorus repeats the line Quieren matar al presidente.
  • Tickets are on sale for a May 9 performance at the Autódromo Municipal de Rosario through the official seller Enigmatickets, following his December return that drew about 35,000 people in Córdoba.
  • The track leans on raw guitar rock and credits Álvarez as producer, with recording by Esteban Kahayan at La Base Estudio and mastering by engineer Eduardo Bergallo.
  • Álvarez’s return unfolds in the shadow of a 2018 homicide case, with a judge ending his detention in 2022 for treatment and a criminal court pausing the trial in 2023 due to his health.
