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.
Vértigo
Miguel Mateos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En un videocasete
Cada vez que quiero verte
Pongo el tape
Y me toco
De a poco
Ay, ay, ay
Hablar durmiendo
Grabo todas esas noches
Para que
Cuando vengas
Te entretengas
Y así
Provocar tu corazón
Empujarte hasta poder vivir
El vértigo mi amor
Reloj de arena
Nunca dejes de marcar
Ella necesita tiempo para dar
Darse cuenta
Darse cuenta
Ay, ay, ay
Tengo todos mis sueños
En un videocasete
Cada noche para verte
Pongo el tape
Con la música
Y así
Provocar mi corazón
Empujarme hasta poder vivir ya
Provocar tu corazón
Y llevarte a mi velocidad
Sentirás el vértigo mi amor
Y así
Provocar tu corazón
Empujarte hasta poder vivir ya
Y así
Provocar tu corazón
Y llevarte a mi velocidad
Vértigo mi amor
Vivirás en mi vértigo
(solo vivirás
El vértigo de mi amor)
The song Vertigo by Miguel Mateos is a beautiful expression of a lover who is deeply in love and craving to be with his beloved. The song talks about the love and passion that he feels for his beloved, and how he keeps a videocassette with all his dreams to feel close to her. The lyrics talk about how he indulges himself by watching his dreams and how he tries to feel her presence by playing the tape. The reference to the sand clock metaphorically implies that time is running, and the singer hopes his beloved will realize soon how much he wants to be with her.

The last lines of the song emphasize how his beloved will live only in his vertigo, and he wants her to feel the same.
