Mateo Solo Bien Se Lame is the first solo album by Uruguayan musician Eduardo Mateo. It was recorded and mixed by Carlos Píriz between October and December 1971 at ION Studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The album was produced by Píriz with the assistance of Eduardo Manuel Rozas, and released by the De la Planta label in October 1972 in Argentina and in December 1972 in Uruguay. All lyrics, music, arrangements, vocals, percussion, and guitars were performed by Mateo. Its acoustic and minimalist approach, incorporating elements of bossa nova, pop, folk, tropicalia, candombe, milonga, Afro-Latin rhythms, and Indian music, had a lasting influence on both Uruguayan and Argentine popular music. The title is a wordplay on the Spanish saying “el buey solo bien se lame”, suggesting self-sufficiency. Mateo performed all instrumentation and vocals on the album, with the exception of the track “Tras de ti, ” which features the Argentine vocal group Quinto de Cantares and singer Horacio Molina. The album is considered a cult classic and is widely regarded as one of the most influential recordings in Uruguayan music history.
