Born to an Argentine mother and an American father, he lived most of his childhood in the San Francisco Bay Area, but moved with his family to Buenos Aires at the age of 12.

Johansen made a brief appearance in the local rock scene with the band Instrucción Cívica in the 80s (only album Obediencia Debida in 1985), but went to New York in 1990. There he met and married his Argentine wife, with whom he has a daughter. He played in the CBGB's club for long years, until he created a group, and in 2000 recorded the album with the same name, The Nada, a mix of different Latin sounds with modern pop, funk and rock.

During the same year, and with the new album in his hands, he returned to Argentina, where he currently lives. The album was relatively successful and Kevin and the group went on tour as far as Spain.

By the end of 2002 Johansen recorded Sur o no sur. Again, Kevin surprises with a combination of Latin music, pop, and humour.

During 2003, Kevin became a huge success in Argentina, playing in June at the Gran Rex Theatre, the largest Buenos Aires hall. Again in Spain, he promoted his new album with concerts in Madrid and Barcelona, this time with bigger audiences. He also performed during the MTV Latino awards, from where he continued a concerts tour to Miami, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco prior to the release of the album in United States.

In 2004 he continues with concerts in Mexico, Chile, Belgium and again Spain (now in many different cities) with an even greater response from the people and the media. At the Latino Grammy Awards, Sur o no sur was nominated for "Album of the year", "Song of the year" (La Procesión) and "Best Music Video" (La Procesión).

In between trips, Johansen recorded his third album (relased as Kevin Johansen + The Nada, City Zen, which was well-received both by fans and the media. The cover of his susequent album, Logo, was drawn by cartoonist Liniers.

Oops
Kevin Johansen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dicho ni, "Mu"

Oops, me enamoré otra vez
Me enamoré después
Me enamoré otra vez, me enamoré, ¿por qué?

Una tarde de verano llovió y cayeron rayos
Y se mojó toda la tierra del jardín
Crecieron unas plantas que corté y sequé primero

Y después guardé para mí
Y ahora que las miro y las tengo aquí cuidadas
Ellas me obligan a cantarte así
Ellas me obligan a cantarte así

¿Quieres que te diga lo que quieres
Escuchar o vas a escuchar lo que te quiero decir?
¿Quieres que te diga lo que quieres escuchar

O vas a escuchar lo que te quiero decir?
Oops, me enamoré

Overall Meaning

otra vez
Oops, me enamoré después

The song "Oops" by Kevin Johansen + The Nada is a playful and catchy tune that explores the ups and downs of falling in love. The lyrics describe the surprise and confusion that often comes with developing feelings for someone unexpectedly. The repetition of the phrase "Oops, me enamoré otra vez" emphasizes the suddenness and unexpectedness of the singer's infatuation. They wonder how it's possible that the person they're interested in rejected them, yet they still find themselves enamored with them. Similarly, they question why they couldn't bring themselves to express their own feelings earlier.

The second half of the song takes a different turn and introduces a metaphor involving plants. The singer recalls a rainy summer afternoon when they cut and dried some plants from their garden. They've been tending to the plants ever since and now they serve as a reminder of their feelings towards the person they're singing to. It's unclear how the plants and the love interest are connected, but the singer seems to suggest that the plants represent the growth and care that they've put into their unrequited love.

Overall, "Oops" is a lighthearted and relatable song that touches on the confusing and unexpected aspects of falling in love.
