Confesiones de Invierno (Winter Confessions) is the second album
of Argentine
folk rock
group Sui Generis
, released on 1973.
The song "Rasguña Las Piedras" (Scratch the Stones) is surrounded by a macabre urban myth. The myth states that the song is a tribute to one of Charly García's closest friends, with whom he had a strong emotional relationship. Having died suddenly with no explanation, she was then buried. When the body was exhumed shortly afterwards, scratches were found on the inside of the coffin which made people suspect she had not been dead at the time of burial
. Though the myth has never been verified, it helped to establish García's fame as an eccentric character.
