Although it has been in the music market for 53 years —since 1969—, it was in 1968 that the iconic song “My old man” headed the nascent repertoire of Joseph TcherkaskiArgentine composer and journalist. While the lines tell the story of his dadthe echo after half a century shows that his impression on this figure is also that of many.

Regarding Father’s Day, in an exclusive interview for The Republic, the author weaves the weight of this parental image in his life, a force that at the age of 25 and a half pushed him to compose the well-known refrain “my old man is a good guy, who walks alone and waiting. He has the long sadness of coming walking so much”.

What is the story behind the song “My old man”?

The song “My old man” is the story of my dad. My father was a Russian immigrant who came to Argentina in 1930. He had a very good intellectual formation; his exile was a product of the russian revolution of 27. he died when i was 14 years old, he was a very important figure for me. What I tell is the story of my dad; the lyrics are from my dad, but now he is the dad of the whole world. I’m still trying to understand what nerve touches “My old man” to have this validity. He has come to Japan, Netherlands. He doesn’t bother me, quite the opposite. I want to understand other cultures, other views.

Has the echo of the song changed your perception of the father figure? Initially it was a very intimate song and now he tells me that it is a song of the world.

My father’s vision will not change. The curiosity is to know if today that song has the repercussion that it had in 1969. The song doesn’t belong to me anymore because the song is incorporated by people as their own theme. It is very moving to see what they write. What I can tell you is that it has stopped surprising me because many years have passed. At first, the truth is, it was very difficult for me to understand what was happening with this issue, what was happening in the communities. It is very surprising, at least for me. I can understand that they listen to it in Peru, in Colombia, in Mexico, even in the United States. But in eastern countries, far away?

“My old man” and the fibers of his letter

And the surprise is also delivered by the audience, confesses Tcherkaski, who maintains that “there are many authors who seek success, but success does not exist because the public is the mystery. Just as he takes a song like ‘Mi viejo’, he takes others and others. ‘My old man’ is a very difficult phenomenon to explain”.

However, the most familiar reason he finds has to do with identification: “The most interesting thing about music is that people take it as their own. This is the magic of a song. I find it fascinating,” she warns.

You told me that success does not exist, but fame does exist. How has it been living with the fame of “My old man”?

I have been psychoanalyzing for 50 years. It seems that you are prepared, like in a soccer game, and they train you to play. From the point of view of logic, I understood it, emotionally it is very difficult. (…) He was very crazy. No one greeted me before.

When you have a good event and a song works, great! But there are also songs that are a failure: it is the public that decides. Whether he takes it or not… it’s like love, how do you explain that you fell in love?

How the boys know her is also an interesting tidbit. I ask and they tell me through word of mouth. (…) Social networks are a world apart. Spotify is a world of offers, YouTube the same. When one is already in the market things change a bit.

Did you ever get tired of listening to the song?

No, first I never listen to what I do. Except the first time. It is a mental health issue. One begins to accept situations, one learns this as one learns news: Ah, José is the author of “My old man”! You have to take him with a lot of distance because otherwise he goes crazy.

On that side I try to make life more peaceful, that of a common man. If they know me, they know me. Interviews, interviews… But I don’t spend all day talking about “My old man” either. I do other things. I practice my profession. For me, “My old man” is a fact in my life.

“My old man” and the relationship between its creators

But this anthem that crossed borders was also promoted thanks to the voice of Piero De Benedictis. The singer and songwriter have shared popularity and incidentally some rumors about disputes. Faced with this scenario, Tcherkaski puts his cards on the table.

“With Piero we have had and still have differences. But don’t worry, we are not two kids who fought 54 years ago. He is very different from me, calmer, more daring, he takes things perhaps from a much more intelligent place than mine. I am very young, let’s say. But personal discussions are the least of it. Here the strong thing is that it is a duo that made a work in force”.

Both artists, in addition, shared “Pedro nobody”, “Juan Boliche”, “Arriving, you arrived”, some songs that went unnoticed but that the composer likes a lot. “It is the public that chooses,” he concludes.
