Sonamos Pese A Todo, the debut album of Les Luthiers, released in September, 1971. It was recorded in late 1970 at ION Studios in Buenos Aires, and it featured Les Luthiers as a quintet, with some guest musicians and an orchestra for some numbers. The album was done before they collectively credited their works to everybody in the group, so individual authorship is included. Ernesto Acher wasn't a member of Les Luthiers when they recorded the project, but he was instrumental in getting the album released.
"Epopeya de Edipo de Tebas" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
"Candonga de los colectiveros" (lyrics: Marcos Mundstock; music: Jorge Maronna)
"Teorema de Thales" (lyrics & music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
"Gloria Hosanna, that's the question" (lyrics & music: Carlos Núñez Cortés)
With exception of 'Concerto Grosso...' and 'Presentación', all the numbers had been performed by Les Luthiers long before the recordings took place. Carlos Núñez Cortés acted as musical conductor and Marcos Mundstock wrote all the introductory texts. Carlos López Puccio (who would be later a member of the group) was a guest musician on this record.
In this record there are two guest singers, both members of the vocal group Opus Cuatro: The tenor Rubén Verna and the bass Federico Galiana. The first one sings in "El polen ya se esparce por el aire" and "Teorema de Thales" as first tenor, while the second One can be heard in "Teorema de Thales".
