Canción Animal

When Soda Stereo embarked on the creation of Canción Animal, they sought a sound that would resonate with the strength of the Argentine bands that had influenced them in their youth. The result, released in 1990, was an album that moved away from their previous work, embracing a rawness and guitar power that defined a new era. Recorded at Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, Florida, during June and July of that year, the album draws on the influence of groups like Pescado Rabioso, Vox Dei, Color Humano, and Aquelarre, injecting a more direct rock spirit. This shift not only marked the band but also left a significant mark on the evolution of rock throughout the region.

About the album

Canción Animal, according to DoReSol

From this work, several songs became pillars of Soda Stereo's repertoire. (En) El séptimo día, Cae el sol, and Un millón de años luz are just a few examples of tracks that capture the essence of this new sonic direction. Particularly, De música ligera was conceived almost immediately, with a chord sequence that emerged during a soundcheck in Mexico in 1989. Gustavo Cerati sensed its "superhit" potential, and time proved him right, making it one of the album's most recognized pieces and, for many, a milestone in Latin American rock.

Canción Animal solidified itself as a benchmark, consistently recognized in lists of the best Spanish-language rock albums. Its impact is reflected in accolades such as the 2nd position in the 250 best Ibero-American rock albums by Al Borde in 2006, and ninth place in the ranking of the 100 best Argentine rock albums by Rolling Stone Argentina in 2007. The participation of guest musicians like Daniel Melero, Tweety González, and Andrea Álvarez added additional layers to the production, consolidating a sound that would resonate strongly in the music scene.
