Crimen

"Crimen" (Spanish for Crime) is a song written and recorded by Argentine rock musician Gustavo Cerati. It is one of the most popular songs from his solo career and it's recognized as one of his signature songs. It was released as the twelfth track of the album Ahí vamos (Spanish for There we go), in 2006. The song won the Latin Grammy in 2007 and the MTV Awards in 2006 for Best Rock Song among other awards (See "Crimen" Awards). Lyric "Crimen" has been considered one of the great Argentine rock ballads, along with songs such as Almendra's Muchacha (Ojos de papel). Music "Crimen" is a slow-paced rock ballad. It begins with a piano, which was unprecedented in Cerati's career. Ironically, this ballad is a large part of what made the largely rock-oriented Ahí vamos so successful.
