Gustavo Cerati

Gustavo Cerati was born in Buenos Aires on August 11, 1959, in the Palermo Chico neighborhood. His father, Juan José, would bring comics of Superman, Tarzán or Flash every time he came back from work, and the boy used them as a starting point to invent his own characters: a hero called Supercerebro, a nocturnal flying man he called Argos. He also gave a lot of thought to Greek mythology. Music came later, but that imaginative mind was already there from the beginning.During his adolescence, he played in several groups, with The Beatles and The Police as clear references. In 1982 he founded Soda Stereo, where he was the voice, the guitar and the creative engine.

The qualitative leap came with Signos in 1986, and at the beginning of the nineties Canción animal finally solidified his career, returning to the sound of rock from Argentina in the 1970s. In the meantime, in 1992 he recorded with Daniel Melero the album Colores santos, one of the first works in South America to incorporate electronic music. The following year he released his first solo album, Amor amarillo.When Soda Stereo disbanded, Cerati continued alone and with even more determination. Bocanada (1999) and Siempre es hoy (2002) deepened his interest in electronics, which he also explored in his parallel projects Plan V and Ocio.
