While performing with los Rodríguez, he didn't release any new solo material, just Grabaciones Encontradas, Vols. Curiously, working from Spain, he was conquering Argentina. Calamaro's songs became popular in the early '80s, and the hitmaker was back on the road again. They formed los Rodríguez in 1991, a pop/rock band that was very popular in Spain and Latin America. There he met Ariel Rot and Julian Infante, former members of Tequila. Calamaro left Argentina and settled in Spain, following a road taken by many Argentinian rockers. When Calamaro released Nadie Sale Vivo de Aquí in 1989, Argentina was struggling in the midst of a difficult economic crisis consequently, few albums were released, and the production of Nadie Sale suffered. Released in 1988, it contains some outstanding songs such as "Con los Dientes Apretados" and "Me Olvidé de los Demás," while other songs like "Cartas Sin Marcar" and "Loco por Tí" helped the album gain popularity. Calamaro's third album, Por Mirarte, found him in better form fronting an established band. He also worked and collaborated with many artists of different styles and genres, a constant goal throughout his whole career. Although Calamaro appeared to be out of luck as a songwriter, he had an intense and successful run as a producer for bands like los Enanitos Verdes, los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Don Cornelio y la Zona. Despite the presence of important musicians and guests such as Luis Alberto Spinetta and Charly García, the album was a disappointment both commercially and artistically. In 1985, Calamaro left los Abuelos de la Nada and recorded his second album, Vida Cruel. The album was a bizarre mix of styles and musicians, and it didn't gain much public or press support. Although the band was led by the brilliant Miguel Abuelo, Calamaro composed most of the group's hits, including "Mil Horas," "Así Es el Calor," "Sin Gamulán," and "Costumbres Argentinas." In 1984, he made his solo debut with Hotel Calamaro. In 1981 he joined one of the main bands of the '80s Argentinian rock scene, los Abuelos de la Nada. Born in 1961, he began his professional musical career at the age of 17 playing keyboards in Raíces. Andres Calamaro is one of the most popular Argentinian pop/rock songwriters, and considers himself a song craftsman.
