Vivencia was an Argentine folk and acoustic rock duo formed in 1972 in Buenos Aires by Eduardo Fazio and Héctor Ayala. They debuted that year with the conceptual rock opera Vida y vida de Sebastián. The duo achieved a national breakthrough in 1973 with their second studio album, Mi cuarto, which featured the title track “Mi cuarto” and “Los juguetes y los niños”. In 1975, they released the album Vivencia, which included the successful songs “Pupitre marrón” and “Mamá probeta”, the latter of which offered criticism of early in vitro fertilization. Their discography continued with the albums Sensitivo in 1977 and Azules de otoño in 1979. In 1980, they released the spiritual conceptual work Los siete pecados capitales, featuring the track “Curiosa noche”. Following the release of Pare y escuche in 1983, the duo disbanded in 1984. Ayala moved to Los Angeles in 1986 to write music for Warner Chappell and recorded Christian music before returning to Argentina in 2003. The pair reunited for live performances leading to the 2005 album En vivo. Ayala died at age 72 on July 16, 2016, following a battle with Parkinson's disease.
