"It is a unique show in our history because it has music and humour", ironizes López about the two differentiating elements of his work.

"Viejos Hazmerreíres", premiered in 2014 in Rosario (Argentina) arrived in Spain for the first time in 2018 in Galician cities and includes works from the shows "Todo por que rías", "Luthierías", "Les Luthiers unite singing with humour", "El reír de los cantares", "Los premios Mastropiero", "Lutherapia" and "Por humor al arte".

They arrived in Spain for the first time 45 years ago, still under Franco's dictatorship, so they had to deliver the scripts for the censorship to review them.

On their ability to survive the passage of time and changes of country, explain that the key is to make a universal humor, which adapts only in words or jokes for each country and is updated for each function.
