His songs with soda stereo, his musical arrangements take me back to those idilic childhood memories with my mother and those thrilled high school days as well.
Surrealistic lyrics, vibrant chords, dark moments but lighten as well.
Some people say he was the Robert Smith of latinoamerican rock music, others say he was the Ian Curtis but none of these statements are fair.
Yes, some song are dark as much as any 80's postpunk song but Cerati was dynamic and the most important he was just Gustavo Cerati.
Definitely some songs are a must of any world music lover playlist, Soda Stereo is the most important latinoamenrican rock band that took part of rock en tu idioma "rock in your language" movement which was a breath for a generation sick of cheesy pop music supported even by the same governments, lets remember Internet was something would never imagined so the only music available was pop music in spanish and english were the the last one only a minimum percent of population could understand the full lyrics.
Cerati is compared with Carlos Dardel y Mercedes Sosa even Argentina authorities have proclaimed two days of national mourning and all latinoamenrican media have dedicated at least few minutes to him.
Gracias por venir Gustavo, gracias totales.
