Peperina is the fourth studio album released by the Argentinian rock group Serú Girán, released in 1981. It was Serú Girán's last album until the 1992 reunion. The group released four successful singles from the album: "Peperina", "Cinema Verité", "Esperando nacer" and "Salir de la melancolía".

Overview

Peperina was recorded in early 1981, mainly at the ION Studios and then, some tracks at Wacameca Studios. The title-song is about a journalist writing from Expreso Imaginario magazine, called Patricia Perea,[1] who rated the Serú Girán shows in Cordoba as embarrassing. Charly García wrote the song as a response to her attack on the band. Reportedly, upon first listening to the song, Parea remarked that she still did not like Serú Girán, but that García was "a good sociologist".[2] The record has featured in numerous publications' lists of the best albums of the Argentine Rock. Many consider Peperina to be the band's finest album, due to the sound quality.

By 1981, the band had achieved considerable commercial success in Argentina, including several hits, so it made sense to present the album at the Estadio Obras, on September 4, 5 and 6 of that same year. Also, Serú Girán performed at the Teatro Coliseo during the Christmas' week between December 25, 26 and 27, with the three shows sold out.
