The story behind
With a duration of 4:24, *Afrodisíacos* presents itself as a piece that deviates from the usual path of Soda Stereo. This track, part of their debut album, delves into a lyrical style that plays with humor and irony, resonating with the wave of lighthearted music that gained momentum in Argentina in the early 1980s. In that context, Soda Stereo shared the stage with groups like Los Twist, Viuda e Hijas de Roque Enroll, Virus, and Suéter, creating a particular sonic atmosphere that distinguishes this first work from the rest of their discography.
The recording of this initial album, released in 1984, featured the production of Federico Moura, the lead vocalist and mastermind behind Virus. The trio, formed by Gustavo Cerati on vocals and guitar, Héctor "Zeta" Bosio on bass and backing vocals, and Charly Alberti on drums, laid the foundation for a sound influenced by the new wave of bands like The Police and Elvis Costello, as well as the post-punk of Television. Although the band would evolve towards heavier and alternative sounds, this first material captures an initial stage with a distinctive spirit.
