Band members … Read Full Bio ↴Miranda! is an Argentinean electropop band formed in 2002.
Band members include Alejandro Sergi (vocals), Juliana Gattas (vocals), Lolo Fuentes (guitar) and Bruno de Vicenti(programming, who later on left the band. Now they are also performing with Monoto, the new bassist.
The History of Miranda! begins in 2002, when Alejandro Sergi decided to join Juliana Gattas, Lolo Fuentes and Bruno de Vicentis and start a "techno pop" music band, though they were classified as a rock band. When they began to play around the Buenos Aires Underground, they started playing their music in different places, making their number of followers grow at each performance.
Their first CD was Es Mentira (Spanish for It's a Lie). It consisted of ten songs.
In 2004 Miranda! edited their second studio album, called Sin Restricciones (Without Restrictions), made up of twelve songs, including Yo te diré (I'll Tell You), Don (Gift) El Profe (The Teacher) and Navidad (Christmas) as its highlights.
The band was named after the Argentinian actor Osvaldo Miranda. Since the band began playing, they wanted to meet Osvaldo Miranda. This finally took place during the Buen Día Arriba festival, in December 2002, in a bar near a park at Palermo Viejo.
The band combines love themes, nice ballads, and electronic waltzes mixed with some of sexual desire, creating very dance-able songs and carefully prepared shows.
There is a big controversy regarding the sexual content in some of Miranda!'s songs' lyrics, mostly in El Profe ("The Teacher" in English) – which was released as a single; and is about a male teacher fantasizing about sexualy abusing one of his female students, probably suggesting pedophilia in the verse "Quisiera que me mientas cuando pregunte tu edad" (I wish you would lie to me when I ask you your age) and also "Quiero que te toques para mi, quiero tocarme y acabar en ti" (I want you to touch yourself for me, I want to touch me and end up on you).

Mуntame un showcito tuyo y de tu vestidito.
Cuйntame el cuentito de tu dulce bomboncito
Al que le saco el papelito con mi boca suavecito.
Oh no, oh no, porque me alejй de vos.
Oh no, oh no, quiero que seamos dos.
Verdad que yo te dije que me aburrн
ЎClбsico! ЎClбsico! Apenas abandono
Y la pista me descolocу.
ЎLуgico! ЎLуgico! Creн tenerlo claro
Y ahora se me complicу.
Bбilame un poquito, que yo miro calladito.
Mуntame un showcito tuyo y de tu vestidito.
Hazlo de nuevo que me vuelvo loco, nena,
Dйjame, quiero ver. (nena dйjame, quiero ver)
Oh dios, oh dios,
Si es verdad estбs ahн,
Venн, baja,
Explicame que hago aquн.
Me separй pero al mes me la encontrй.
Me sorprendiу con los trucos que aprendiу
Mira que bien, como entra en acciуn,
Quiero saber quien le dio la informaciуn.
Sospecho que algo nuevo le pasу,
Mejor serб olvidбrmelo.
ЎClбsico! ЎClбsico!
Creн tenerlo claro
Y ahora se me complicу.
Bбilame un poquito, que yo miro calladito.
Mуntame un showcito tuyo y de tu vestidito.
Hazlo de nuevo que me vuelvo loco,
Nena, dйjame, quiero ver.
Hazlo de nuevo que me vuelvo loco,
Nena, dйjame, quiero ver.
Bбilame un poquito, que yo miro calladito.
Mуntame un showcito tuyo y de tu vestidito.
Hazlo de nuevo que me vuelvo loco,
Nena, dйjame, quiero ver.
Hazlo de nuevo que me vuelvo loco,
Nena, dйjame, quiero ver.
The lyrics to Miranda!'s song El Showcito are about a person who is asking their partner to dance for them and entertain them with a little show. The singer asks their partner to narrate the story of their sweet "bomboncito," or little candy, while they watch in silence. They reminisce on their past relationship and acknowledge that they became bored of each other, but are now trying to reconnect.
The song also talks about the confusion and complications that arise as they try to rebuild their relationship. The chorus of "Clasico! Logico!" implies that the issues they are experiencing are not new or unexpected. In the last verse, the singer mentions that they left their partner but met them again after a month, only to be surprised by their new tricks and actions. They suspect that their partner has learned something new or has someone else in their life, and debate whether to forget it or confront them.
Overall, the lyrics of El Showcito explore themes of nostalgia, reconciliation, and mistrust in a partnership. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy tune add to its lighthearted tone, which contrasts with the singer's doubts and insecurities.
