Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clarke, (Buenos Aires - Argentina: August 11th, 1959 … Read Full Bio ↴Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clarke, (Buenos Aires - Argentina: August 11th, 1959 --- September 4th, 2014: Buenos Aires - Argentina) better known as Gustavo Cerati was an Argentinean guitarist, producer, occasional bass player, dj, lyricist, and vocalist. During the 1980's and until the mid-1990's he was the visible leader of Soda Stereo, -arguably one of Latin America's most important rock bands.
Cerati was in a coma for over four years, after suffering a stroke on May 15, 2010, right at the end of a show in Caracas - Venezuela, on the final leg of his Fuerza Natural tour. The situation -which ocurred backstage at the dressing room- was quickly reported by news agencies and via tweets. After a period of intensive care hospitalization in Caracas, he was flown on a private ambulance-jet to Buenos Aires where he spent the next 4 years in an induced coma. He passed away in a local hospital due to respiratory failure. The news on September 4th, 2014 shook the rock community worldwide.
Cerati was widely acknowledged for his lead and rhythm guitar talents -and for his ability to play solos while singing at the same time in perfect key, as well as for the lyrical content of his songwriting, all of which helped to consolidate him as one of the most prolific and important rock musicians in the continent.
Cerati founded Soda Stereo in 1982 with bassist Zeta Bosio. Drummer Charly Alberti joined them shortly after. The band released its first album in August 1984 and dissolved in late 1997.
Cerati's first main venture away from Soda Stereo (apart from creating the band Fricción in 1985) with Richard Coleman and drummer Fernando Samalea, was the album Colores Santos in 1992: an experimental project in collaboration with musician Daniel Melero, that anticipated the sonic experimentation of Soda Stereo's late 1992 album, Dynamo.
He released his first full solo effort Amor Amarillo in 1993, while still a member of Soda. Zeta Bosio and then-wife Cecilia Amenábar collaborated on the project. The album featured more introspective lyrics, a fair amount of electronic experimentation and was well received by both the critics and the public. He then returned to Soda Stereo releasing Zona de Promesas, (a compilation album of remixes which contained the eponymous track as an opener). Zona de Promesas is an intimate and delicate song that focuses on the relationship he had with his mother (Lilian Clark). The albums Sueño Stereo and Comfort y Música Para Volar (MTV Unplugged) followed. Shortly after the band decided to split and launched a farewell tour in late 1997. After the farewell tour, Cerati embarked in a couple of projects that dealt exclusively with electronic music. He formed the group Plan V together with Chilean musicians Andrés Bucci, Guillermo Ugarte and Christian Powditch, and shortly after the duo Ocio with Flavio Etcheto also known as Flavius.
His second solo album Bocanada was released in 1999. The record embraced both the style that made Soda Stereo famous, and a newer style reminiscent of his electronic projects.
In 2001, Cerati wrote the soundtrack for the movie + Bien directed by Eduardo Capilla, in which he also stars and marked his acting debut. Another soundtrack he produced was for the movie "Solo Por Hoy". That same year he recorded 11 Episodios Sinfónicos, -a live recording of him singing accompanied by The Buenos Aires Symphonic Orchestra, directed by Alejandro Terán, a veteran from La Portuaria, who also is proficient in Classical music direction and conduction.
Siempre Es Hoy was released in 2002, and showcased a new perspective on his music and sound. A mixture of electronica, and electric rock sounds, Siempre Es Hoy is the longest running LP (timewise) in his solo career. Containing seventeen tracks and over one hour and ten minutes of running play time, the album was widely acclaimed. Reversiones was released a year later in 2003, and complied remixes from the Siempre Es Hoy album by various artists from Mexico, Argentina, Germany, etc.
Ahí Vamos (2006) was considered a return to his more classic rock style as it contains heavier sounds and a much wider guitar/drums presence. Many consider this album -along with Amor Amarillo, his finest solo efforts.
Despite stating previously that the Grammy Awards were of little importance to him, he attended the Latin Grammy Awards ceremony on November 2, 2006 where he was awarded in the Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song, categories.
In 2007, Cerati toured for one last time with Soda Stereo for a massive reunion tour, that took them all across Latin America and the United States.
Cerati produced albums for several artists, most notably "Sueños en Transito" for Nicole and "Mar" for Leo Garcia. He was major sponsor and collaborator in the development and acknowledgement of Babasónicos. He also contributed on several albums for other relevant Argentinean and Latin American artists such as Fricción -which he co-founded, Caifanes from Mexico, and Shakira from Colombia. On July 7, 2007 he performed with her at Live Earth, in Germany. He also joined forces with other prominent musicians as The Police's guitarist Andy Summers for a Spanish version of "Bring On The Night" / "Tráeme La Noche", and with Roger Waters from Pink Floyd on a yet unreleased song they recorded in 2008. He performed live alongside other prominent Argentinean musicians including Luis Alberto Spinetta, Charly García, Andrés Calamaro, Mercedes Sosa and many others.
Gustavo Cerati's last studio album Fuerza Natural won the Best Rock Album award and Best Rock Song award for Déjà Vu during the 2010 Latin Grammy Awards. It also received the award for best packaging and design at the same event. The album's lyrics and rock sound which at times is reminiscent of the Beatles' psychedelic period, showcased a very hopeful Cerati, with mystical and illuminated lyrics that spoke of his hopes for both the present and the future. Paradoxically, it was during the last leg of the tour that supported the album that Cerati suffered the stroke that put him in a coma.
Cerati leaves behind his mother Lilian Clarke, his daughter Lisa Cerati and younger son Benito Cerati who is also a musician and has a project called Zero Kill. Cecilia Amenábar, Cerati's ex-wife is their mother.

The lyrics to Gustavo Cerati's song Sudestada capture the feeling of a storm about to erupt. The repetition of "A ver, A ver, Si aclara" ("Let's see, let's see, if it clears") creates a sense of anticipation as the singer waits for the storm to pass. As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on themes of desire, change, and uncertainty. The lines "Hablé de voz, de mis ansias" ("I spoke of my voice, of my desires") suggest that the singer is trying to express their innermost thoughts and feelings, but is struggling to find the words to do so. The metaphor of a storm running through the singer's thoughts and emotions emphasizes the intensity of their inner turmoil.
The lines "El día que nació en tu boca de un nuevo temporal que estalla" ("The day a new storm was born in your mouth that explodes") suggest that the singer's feelings are tied to a specific relationship, and that this relationship is the source of the "storm" they feel inside. The repetition of "Hablé" ("I spoke") reinforces the idea that the singer is trying to communicate their emotions, but is finding it difficult to do so. The final lines, "Trataba de explicar / que ya no hay vuelta atrás" ("I tried to explain / that there is no turning back"), suggest that the singer is grappling with the sense that their life is changing in profound ways, and that there is no going back to how things were before.

Qué etapa tan prolífica fue la carrera solista de Gustavo. Y sobre todo un ejemplo de lo significa ser un artista con principios. Un artista que se planta de forma casi obstinada en su búsqueda personal pese a que el resto solo le pedía revivir a su gran banda. Por suerte el tiempo terminó dándole la razón a Gustavo y a los que lo acompañamos en su proyecto, escuchando cada material nuevo con atención

Ésta canción me acompañó cuando un día decidí a último momento viajar por unos días con el intento de curar mi corazón enamorado... Cerati, gracias por tus temas. En especial éste porqué en todo el camino al estár sola en un lugar nuevo me dió melancolía, después me dió esperanza, calma y fuerzas. Gracias Cerati porque con ésta canción me has llegado hasta el alma.

Poesía pura de un genio eterno.
"A ver.. A ver.. Si aclara.. Hablé de vos.. De mis ansias.. El día que nació.. En tu boca.. De un nuevo temporal.. Que estalla..
Afuera mis entrañas.. Adentro sigue en calma.. Trataba de explicar.. Que ya no hay vuelta atrás.. Hablé.. Hablé.. De todo.."
@elirodriguez6773
Maxi quisiera saber cómo interpretas está canción?
@patricia47
@Eli Rodriguez es como que está pasando por una tormenta o un momento muy fuerte
@fernandomarquez6102
@Patricia creo habla de un rompimiento de una relación, en ese momento cuando se da la última plática entre la pareja antes de decir adiós cuando dice "un nuevo temporal" se refiere a el llanto después del rompimiento.
@fernandomarquez6102
Afuera mis entrañas tal vez se refiere a cuando se habla con el corazón desde dentro tratando de explicar porque se llegó a ese punto...
