Circo Beat

Circo Beat ("Beat Circus") is the eighth studio album by Argentine musician Fito Páez, released in 1994.

The singles "Mariposa tecknicolor" and "Tema de Piluso" (the latter a tribute to the late comedian from Rosario, Alberto Olmedo) received extensive radio airplay. Although the album came close to matching the success of its predecessor, El amor después del amor, it ultimately sold only about half as many copies. Nevertheless, it became the second best-selling album of Páez's career and the third best-selling album in Argentina in 1995, with 350,000 copies sold. The album was produced by Phil Manzanera, guitarist for the British rock band Roxy Music and for the second phase of Pink Floyd, after Roger Waters left the group.

A version of the album, titled Circo Beat Brasil, was also released, featuring three tracks adapted into Portuguese by Herbert Vianna (the first two) and Thedy Correa (the last one). This version includes special duet performances: "Mariposa tecknicolor" with Caetano Veloso, "She's Mine" with Djavan, and "Nas luzes de Rosario" (an adaptation of "Tema de Piluso") with Herbert Vianna of Paralamas.
