The story behind

The song Rata by No Te Va Gustar, with its duration of 2 minutes and 51 seconds, is presented as a piece that invites exploration of rhythms and textures. The band, which was born in Montevideo in 1994, has managed to incorporate diverse influences, from Uruguayan popular music and Argentine rock to sounds from groups like Oasis and The Beatles. Initially a trio, No Te Va Gustar expanded in 1997, adding wind and percussion instruments that enriched their sonic palette, allowing for the exploration of genres such as reggae, candombe, ska, and murga, elements that are often perceived in the construction of their songs.

The band's name, No Te Va Gustar, arose from a particular anecdote. When asked what their name was, the members responded with that phrase, referring to a previous name they preferred not to reveal due to superstition. The answer, which initially caused amusement, ended up being definitively adopted as they gained recognition with it. This story, linked to spontaneity and a touch of humor, is reflected in the energy the band transmits, and which can undoubtedly be felt when approaching a song like Rata.
