Maxi Trusso and Leo García will present an exciting pop rock version of “Of light music”, one of the most outstanding anthems of rock in Spanish. This collaboration represents the fusion of two recognized emblems of the Argentine music scene, in which they pay tribute to the former leader of soda Stereo. Both the composer of the song “Morrisey” and the singer of “Please me” They were friends and admirers of the remembered Gustavo Cerati.
The song is included on the upcoming album titled “Pagan images”, which has been created in constant collaboration between these two artists and will soon see the light of day. The premiere of this version is a new tribute to Gustavo Cerati and Soda Stereowhich is accompanied by an extensive video clip directed by Andy Caballero and starring Leticia Bredice. Project distribution will be managed by The Orchard, a recognized platform in the national industry.
This project joins other tributes and homages dedicated to Cerati made by renowned rockers from the national and international scene over recent years. Probably the most remembered was “Thank you Total Soda Stereo” carried out by the former members of the legendary band, Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti, in honor of their deceased leader. The expected meeting was in Argentine Polo Fieldon December 18 and 19, 2021, which also featured the presence of countless music stars.
A Cerati eternalized on the screen, singing an emblematic hit was the prelude to a parade of performers who were summoned for the show. Chris Martin, Adrián Dárgelos, Andrea Echeverri, Benito Cerati, Draco Rosa, Fernando Ruiz Díaz, Alvaro Henriquez, Gustavo Santaolalla, Juanes, Julieta Venegas, León Larregui, Mon Laferte and Walaswere some that were presented live or on screen to evoke the singer and the band that marked an era, within the rock and pop of Argentina and many other Latin American countries.
Of course, the session musicians who accompanied Soda Stereo and Cerati as a soloist over the years could not be missing from that meeting. Richard Coleman, Fabian Von Quintiero, Roly Ureta and Simón Bosio They gave the present on stage on the two commemorative dates. At that time, both on the field and in the stands, there was a very fanatical audience, with a strong presence of those who were young or adolescents at the beginning of the trio, in the mid-eighties, but there were also generations, many more young people who met the band after 2000, when they were already a legend of Argentine and international music.
Many artists on the local scene continue this legacy of the musician who died on September 4, 2014. Choosing songs from Soda Stereo or from his solo period, singers like Abel Pintos with “Cactus”, Lisandro Aristimuño with “Signos” and “Te para tres”, Los Tipitos and No te va a Gustar with “When the tremor passes”, Los Caballeros de la Quema with “Lo que bleeding”, Fabiana Cantilo with “American Blind”, Bahiano with “Man Overboard”, Enrique Bunbury and Andrés Calamaro with “Crimen”, La Ley with “Trátame Suavemente”, Café Tacuba with “Seduction Game” and Aterciopelados with “The City of Fury”accompanied in memory the “winged man.”
But the tributes transcended sound and materialized in various performances and artistic works. The show “Seventh day” made by Cirque du Soleil was a resounding success at Luna Park for the entire 2018 season. In some provincial tours, the name of the composer of “Natural Force” and “Déjà vu” It is officially embodied in the streets of the Jujuy and Entre Rios landscape. In the city of Buenos Aires, you can cross the corner in honor of soda Stereo, located at the intersection of Victorino de La Plaza and Almirante Sixto Barilari in the Nuñez neighborhood. The most recent memory, which will last throughout time, is installed in Costa Rica. In a plaza in the Central American country, there is a statue of Gustavo Cerati with his guitar, a sculpture that invites the walker to remember the melody of his compositions accompanied by his voice.
