From A Dónde Me Lleva La Vida (1994). A Dónde Me Lleva La Vida is the album by the Argentine band La Renga, released in April 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for La Renga's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
