Soda Stereo

Soda Stereo was the Argentine trio that defined rock en español and became the best-selling Argentine band of all time. For a generation across Latin America, they were simply the band.

Orígenes

Formed in Buenos Aires in 1982 by singer-guitarist Gustavo Cerati, bassist Zeta Bosio, and drummer Charly Alberti, they rode the post-dictatorship cultural opening to continental stardom, releasing seven studio albums before disbanding in 1997.

El sonido

They started in new wave and post-punk and matured into ambitious, textured art-rock, with Cerati's sophisticated songwriting and image-conscious style setting the template for Spanish-language rock bands that followed.

Legado

Having sold millions of records, they are the most influential rock en español act of all time, and Cerati's later solo work and untimely death only deepened their mythology. Their songs remain anthems sung by stadiums across the region.

De Música Ligera

"De Música Ligera," the closing song of their final reunion concerts, is the most famous rock en español song ever recorded—its opening riff guaranteed to make any Latin American crowd erupt.
