Primavera 0

When Gustavo Cerati wrote «Primavera 0», released on September 14, 1992, it became the first preview of Dynamo, the sixth album by Soda Stereo. The challenge was significant: to present a new, more experimental sound with a different kind of strength, following the success of Canción animal. A clear influence of shoegaze is noticeable, with an electric guitar accompanying a large part of the piece, building a sonic atmosphere that directly dialogues with «En remolinos», another song from the same album, united by an echo of distorted guitar. The track begins with feedback that gives way to a powerful riff, with hints of noise rock and echoes of bands like Sonic Youth. The rhythmic foundation of Zeta Bosio on bass and Charly Alberti on drums joins Cerati's vocals and is maintained until the end, once again dialoguing with that pounding riff. The song's video, directed by Boy Olmi, offers a glimpse into that recording process, a "making-of" that shows the trio in action.

The reception of Dynamo was more reserved by fans, partly due to the sonic change and also because the band had changed record labels just after recording. Sony did not support a departing group, and BMG could not promote material from another company. Despite this, «Primavera 0» established itself as a very popular song. It was part of most Soda Stereo concerts until their separation in 1997 and resurfaced during the Gira me verás volver tour in 2007. During the Gira Dynamo and Gira Sueño Stereo tours, the song was often performed connected to «En remolinos», just as on the album. Live versions, such as the one from El último concierto in 1997, sometimes omitted the initial feedback, while the 2007 version was faster and had a more rocking spirit, regaining that sonic connection with «En remolinos». Even Gustavo Cerati included it in his solo career, during the Gira Siempre es hoy tour. Al Borde magazine ranked it 422nd among the 500 best songs of Ibero-American rock in 2006.
