Recently unveiled, "Con Vos" stems from the meeting of three major musical figures: Argentine actress, singer, and songwriter Mariana "Lali" Espósito; Gustavo Alfredo Santaolalla—a musician, composer, and producer who has won two consecutive Oscars; and Bajofondo, an electronic tango ensemble featuring musicians from Argentina and Uruguay. This artistic convergence—blending Argentine pop and Rioplatense rhythms with electronic elements—gives rise to an audiovisual project that transcends the traditional music video format, exploring new ways of storytelling through music and technology.

Santaolalla’s experience and musical sensibility, paired with Lali’s energy, create an especially powerful combination. The result is a work that clearly reflects the time and meticulous care invested in every detail—from the creation of a distinct visual universe to the development of its characters and narrative.

Directed by Tomás García, the video clip addresses issues such as technology, tenderness understood as a form of control and the search for identity. The starting point was a message from Santaolalla to García. The musician had seen "Todo Mi Ruido", a sample of an experimental short film made with artificial intelligence, and found in that visual universe the trigger to imagine how the song could inhabit it.

From that idea began an independent creative process that lasted more than two and a half years and went through different generations of artificial intelligence. The development was marked by constant experimentation: thousands of images, multiple tests and decisions that shaped the final piece. The filming also had its peculiarities: Lali took 57 takes, of which only three were selected for the final montage. Part of that journey can be discovered on the website created to accompany the premiere, where ideas, experiments and fragments of the process are brought together.

The proposal combines technological exploration and artistic sensitivity. This duality runs through the video from beginning to end and is expressed, especially, in the way Lali is presented. At times, it appears transformed by the effects and interventions of artificial intelligence; In others, it is shown from a more raw and physical dimension, with a costume of natural tones and a corporal and organic choreography. They are two facets that coexist and complement each other, as if the work oscillated between the artificial and the tangible, between the intervened image and the human presence.

The visual universe reinforces that tension. The scenes with an apocalyptic atmosphere at times evoke the aesthetics of Blade Runner and Black Mirror, and even refer to El Eternauta, the Argentine production released in 2025. However, in the midst of these disturbing landscapes, toys and decorative characters appear that introduce an unexpected counterpoint. These elements soften the feeling of catastrophe and generate a contrast between the threatening and the playful, the dark and the tender.

The three minutes and twenty seconds that the song lasts thus condense more than two and a half years of work, endless experiments and thousands of images that will probably never see the light of day. Far from presenting artificial intelligence as an autonomous tool capable of creating on its own, “Con Vos” highlights the human dimension that exists behind its possibilities: the sensitivity and decisions that guide each result. In the midst of noise and digital overstimulation, the work finds its meaning in that dialogue between technology and creativity, and in the human capacity to imagine, select and shape our own visual universe.

Lyrics.-

Ya no queda nada más
Cuando vos me mirás
Te mandás y decís que te vas
Solo veo que el deseo
Se quedó lejos y atrás

Recuerdo tu boca
Mordiendo mi boca
Arena en los labios
Es lo que me toca
La lluvia que baja del cielo
Ya no moja más tu pelo

Yo sé que este orgullo no es tuyo
Que es mío y el mío también
Que el dolor de tu piel me dejó
Congelada en el andén

Igual ya no voy a arrancar a penar
Ni tampoco voy a preguntarte
¿Qué tal? ¿Ya te vas? ¿Te quedás?
O quizás ya empezaste a borrarte

Y si estoy con vos
No hay espacio ni tiempo
Uno y uno es dos
Eterno es el momento

(Pero sí)
Pero si no estás vos (no estás vos)
La soledad presiento (presiento)
No hay caso, es imposible (imposible)
Sin vos seguir viviendo

(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
Ah
(Ah-ah)

Presiento el lamento del viento
Con el pensamiento y vos siempre te vas
Enfrento el momento de darle el final al invento
Tomá las llaves del apartamento

No lo tengo claro y es raro
No conozco ese procedimiento, ah
Si te digo, te miento

Ya no te peleo ni tampoco saboteo
No te creo ni te banco un careo
Es lo que pienso, indefensa
Sin saber qué viene atrás

Al final lo mejor del sopor
Es dejar que todo fluya y que ese dolor
De ya no sentir en mi boca el sabor de la tuya
Lentamente, como todo, poco a poco
Se diluya

Y si estoy con vos
No hay espacio ni tiempo
Uno y uno es dos
Eterno es el momento

(Pero sí)
Pero si no estás vos (no estás vos)
La soledad presiento (presiento)
No hay caso, es imposible (imposible)
Sin vos seguir viviendo

(Ah-ah)
Ah-ah
(Ah-ah)
Ah-ah
(Ah-ah)
Ah
(Ah-ah)
