Becoming involved in music since he was 15, in 1979 he and his brother Alejandro formed underground rock band ZAS. The following year he managed to contact Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and gain a spot on stage as the opening act for the British group for their Buenos Aires concerts. He turned ZAS into one of the most important argentine rock bands of the early 80s.
In 1986, Mateos recorded in the United States his first solo album (officially, but in practice he still used members of ZAS as supporting band). With a much more polished sound, and greater pop accessibility than the ZAS works, Mateos jumped on the crest of the wave of Argentine rock acts that dominated the 1986-1988 period all over Latin America, Spain, and elsewhere.
Solos en América was considered a watershed album containing cuts that would become classics of Rock en Español from that time, including the homonymous track, "Cuando Seas Grande", and "Mi Sombra en la Pared".
Riding a wave of massive popularity in Mexico, Mateos introduced the slogan "Rock en tu Idíoma" (Rock In Your Language) in 1987. He began touring that nation, introducing along the way local acts such as Caifanes and Maldita Vecindad, among others. All those groups would become major acts in their own right within a short period. In the 1987-1988 Mateos would tour Latin America to sell-out stadiums.[1] He was among the first Rock en Español acts to receive active support from fledgling MTV International.
The 1990s would be a period of continued solo success for Mateos and his now adult-pop rock music across the Spanish-speaking world, though ironically he would drop off somewhat in popularity in his homeland. In general, what in the rest of Latin America is considered rock, in Argentina tends to be seen as pop. This has sometimes led to cultural confusion about how to categorize the current Miguel Mateos musical output, as outside Argentina Mateos remains an iconic figure of the Rock en Español movement.
Mateos went on the so-called first Rock en Español tour of the United States in 1990, where he was awared the Bravo Musical Award. He released Bar Imperio in 1998 and after a hiatus released Uno in 2005.
Danza Peligrosa
Miguel Mateos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu rostro sin make up
Apagare la luz
No puedo mas
Baila nena, baila tu
Tu danza peligrosa
Tu danza peligrosa
Murmuran al pasar
Y no saben que yo
Lo único que quiero
Es morirme a tu lado
Tu danza peligrosa
Tu danza peligrosa
(shh, escucha ese rumor)
Turba los sentidos
Es el rito del amor
Deja todo ya
Y ven a bailar conmigo
Tu danza peligrosa
Tu danza peligrosa
Quiero vivir
Bailando en tu rodeo
La danza me develara
Peligros que trae el amor
Peligros que da el amor
Tu danza peligrosa
Tu danza peligrosa
Dancing in the moonlight hour
Miguel Mateos's song Danza Peligrosa depicts a romantic and sensual encounter between two lovers on the dance floor. The song is called "Danza Peligrosa," which translates to "Dangerous Dance," and this title sets the tone for the passion and excitement that ensues on the dance floor. The lyrics are romantic, as the singer admires his lover's beauty: "Tus piernas de bambú, tu rostro sin make up" (Your bamboo legs, your face without make-up), and he cannot resist her allure: "No puedo más...Baila nena, baila tu" (I can't take it anymore...Dance, babe, dance).
The singer describes the envious whispers and glances of people around them, who judge them for their lust and desire: "Y no saben que yo, lo único que quiero, es morirme a tu lado" (And they don't know that all I want is to die by your side). He sees the dance as a ritual of love, a way to unveil the dangers and thrills of passion. He invites his lover to join him, despite the risks: "Deja todo ya y ven a bailar conmigo...Quiero vivir bailando en tu rodeo" (Leave everything behind and come dance with me...I want to live, dancing in your rodeo).
