La Grasa de las Capitales is the second album by the Argentine Rock band Serú Girán, released in 1979. Following the deeply criticized debut album Serú Girán the band went in search for a different sound, one that could be closer to the fans expectations. They grew distant from symphonic rock and nearer to rock but still keeping a considerable jazz fusion element in the music, which also was present in the debut album, and to a lesser extent some progressive rock along the way.
The album spurred three hit singles. Pedro Aznar's "Paranoia y Soledad" which was a cryptically metaphoric song talking about a man's descent into insanity; "La Grasa de Las Capitales" which presented a sharp criticism on the paparazzi and the frivolous magazines (as it is showed on the sarcastic album cover), and the final track, "Viernes, 3 A.M." which had lyrics graphically depicting a man's suicide.
