No Te Va Gustar was formed in 1994, when most of its members were around the age of 16. The band was originally a trio made up of Emiliano Brancciari (guitar), Mateo Moreno (bass) and Pablo Abdala (drums). In 1997 the band expanded and added new styles of music to its repertoire such as reggae, candombe, salsa, ska and murga.
The band started to gain recognition in 1998 when they won the "Third Song Festival of Montevideo" and another competition organized by the Montevideo City Council Youth Commission. In 1999 the band toured various venues in Montevideo.
In July 1999, No Te Va Gustar began recording its first album titled "Sólo de noche", which they finished editing (independently) in December. During the summer of 2000 the band toured east coast of Uruguay, playing in Punta del Diablo, Valizas, Cabo Polonio, La Pedrera, La Paloma, Atlántida, El Pinar, and Solymar. In April 2000 "Sólo de noche" was officially released.
During 2002, the band recorded its second album titled "Éste fuerte viento que sopla" (This strong wind that blows) in Santiago, Chile. From that moment on No Te Va Gustar began solidifying its position as one of the defining groups of Uruguayan rock. Their second album went gold just six months after its release and they soon had a fully booked schedule.
In 2004 the band toured the Atlantic coast, sharing the stage with other groups such as La Zurda and Bersuit Vergarabat, one of the most popular bands at that time. The band played more and more gigs in Argentina, attracting a bigger audience with every show in cities such as La Plata, Morón, Ramos Mejía, and Lomas de Zamora.
No Te Va Gustar's third album titled "Aunque cueste ver el sol" (Even though it's hard to look at the sun) was released in 2005. The record release concert attracted an audience of 10,000 people, and the show was recorded for release on DVD later that year. In 2005 the band also did a European tour, playing dates in more than 40 cities including Munich, Hamburg, Bremen, Berlin, Vienna, Bern, and Madrid.
The band recorded its fourth album "Todo es tan inflamable" (Everything is so flammable) in 2006, then promoted the album in various concerts in Uruguay and Argentina. Also in 2006, group members Mateo (bass) and Pablo (drums) left the group citing personal reasons.

No Te Va Gustar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
llegan, invaden tu interior
tantos solos
un cuento mas ingrato de dolor
para qué fingir
siendo tan difícil estar solo
ya ha llegado el tiempo
la sangre dejará de correr a ríos
nada se logra con tu violencia, ni se logrará
me pierdo en el aire
como lágrima que triste cae al río
si yo me encierro
si no te llamo es que no puedo más
llora la lluvia, se moja el recuerdo y la brisa se llena de ti
vas a salir, vas a encontrar tu voz
perdón, de frente voy
de otra manera no seria yo
la verdad es que el tiempo no nos ha hecho bien
nada iguala lo que quiero yo de ti.
The lyrics to No Te Va Gustar's song "Voces del Tiempo" speak about the challenges of being alone and dealing with pain. The opening line, "Voces del tiempo llegan, invaden tu interior" (Voices of time come, invade your insides), sets the tone for the rest of the song as it speaks of the haunting nature of memories that linger and make it hard to move on. The singer is depicted as being in a state of sorrow, with every new story of pain adding to the misery that is already present.
The lyrics then touch on the difficulty of being alone, while acknowledging that it is a part of life, and nothing can be gained from pretending otherwise. It speaks to the inevitability of time with lines such as "ya ha llegado el tiempo, la sangre dejará de correr a ríos" (time has come, blood will stop running like rivers), indicating that it is only a matter of time before things change.
The song encouages a way out of such a difficult and sad state of mind by leaving the past behind and moving forward. It depicts the future as a time of finding one's own voice and healing from the pain. However, it warns against resorting to violence as it will not bring any resolution. The lyrics themselves are poetic and evoke sorrowful emotions which make the listener empathize with the singer.
