"'Gente en la Calle'" (English: "People in the Streets") is a song by Argentine singer-songwriter Fito Pez featuring vocals by Argentine singer Lali, from Pez's twenty-fourth studio album 'La Conquista del Espacio' (2020). It was written by Pez and its producers Diego Olivero and Gustavo Borner. The track was released by Sony Music Argentina as the album's fourth single on March 4, 2021.
In 2021, the song received a nomination for the Collaboration of the Year award at the 23rd Annual Gardel Awards.
Background
The artists' relationship developed through the years as each of them showed interest in each other's work. In 2018, Lali covered Paez's 1990 song "Y Dale Alegra a Mi Corazn". Lali's version was part of a Spotify campaign in which some artists released songs in support of their homecountries' national football teams on the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Moreover, Pez invited Lali to perform his song "Yo Vengo a Ofrecer Mi Corazn" with him in two occasions: the first time in 2018 at Teatro Gran Rex, Buenos Aires, and the second in 2019 at the Fillmore Theatre, Miami.
In 2020, Lali released her fourth studio album, 'Libra', which had Pez as songwriter and background vocalist of the last track, "Una Esquina en Madrid". According to Lali, she sent the lyrics to Pez after having written the song. In return, he sent her a video of himself "finding the melody" of the song in a piano.
Composition
In an interview with 'Billobard', Pez compared the song to Steely Dan's music, one of his favorite groups, and said that it is "melodically very difficult". He added that:
Music video
A music video directed by Guido Adler and Alejandro Ros premiered on March 4, 2021. In the clip, Lali and Pez interact in a street-like set with huge traffic lights in front of screens that project real-life images of Buenos Aires and people living in its streets.
