(No existen) Técnicas para Olvidar (English: (There are none) Techniques for forgetting) is the first studio album by the Peruvian singer-songwriter, Pedro Suárez-Vértiz. It was released on October 19, 1993 originally on the label Discos Independientes and Solver Records until. This was the first album created by Suárez-Vértiz during his solo career, after the break up of Arena Hash.[1]
After the break up of Arena Hash returning from the United States to Peru, Pedro Suárez-Vértiz pursued a solo career. Many of the songs of the album were planned for the third album of Arena Hash, written by Suárez-Vértiz as a side project from the band.[2] The album was released by Discos Independientes del Perú and Solver Records until Suárez-Vértiz signed with Sony Music in 1994, who then released the album on compact disc.
Background
Pedro Suárez-Vértiz waited for the band Arena Hash to reunite so he could release new material. His dream, according to some accounts, was for the band to achieve international recognition and remain relevant for years, but this didn't happen due to differences among the members.[3] The album was already mostly written, and was planned to be the third studio album of the band. According to Pedro himself in an interview with El Comercio, his wife was pregnant, and he had no other option but to go solo. Later, Suárez-Vértiz stated in another interview with El Comercio that the band "isn't broken up, it's just taking a temporary break." Although Arena Hash didn't release any new material, several members of the band participated in some of their solo tracks.
According to Arturo Pomar Jr., on a return trip from Miami, him, along with Patricio Suárez-Vértiz, and Christian Meier, hoped to internationalize the music of the band. However, Pedro Suárez-Vértiz did not approve and distanced himself from the band, leading to the break up.[4]
Production
The album was originally released on cassette by Discos Independientes del Perú and Solver Records. Following its success, three singles were released. After the cassette's success, Sony Music Latin released it on compact disc.[5] From this album until the present (as a solo artist), Pedro's manager has been Robelo Calderón. The production and musical arrangements were done by Pedro Suárez-Vértiz himself, and were praised by the Peruvian composer Augusto Polo Campos.[6]
