1) Argentinian experimental indie pop band Suárez started making waves in the Buenos Aires independent music scene in the early '90s, making their recording debut on the 92/93's 'Ruido' compilations among other young independent groups like Resonantes and Los Brujos. Giving their unconventional approach towards composition and sonic experimentation their full-lenght debut, Hora de no ver (1994), was released on their own label 'Feliz año nuevo'; a self-managed platform which would look over the release of their whole catalog. Along with the record, the DIY music video for the track "Morirían" managed to gain rotation on MTV Latino and Much Music.
After issuing 1995's Horrible, the band went on tour for the first time across Argentina and Chile. In 1996, filmmakers Bill Nieto and Miguel Mitlaj produced a short movie called 'Cenando con Suárez', which was based on the recording sessions for their third album Galope. The promotional tour for Galope would take them to Spain, performing on several locations and re-editing their records for the local market. In 1999, the group released what would be their final record, Excursiones, with the song "Rio Paraná" as the lead single along its promo video clip. Suárez abruptly broke up in 2001 as they were beginning to gain traction in the broader Argentine music scene.
The production of the documentary "Entre dos luces. Suárez. Primera parte" pieced together from footage from the early years of the group by director Fernando M. Blanco saw the sudden return of Suárez, who performed live on the premiere of the film during the Mar del Plata International Film Festival on November 1st, 2015. Since then the group has performed sporadically and have hinted on the release of new material.
2) Belgian acoustic/pop band Suarez is a four-piece act composed of three folk musicians from Madagascar – brothers Max and Pata Randriamanjava, and their cousin Dada Ravalison, who play lead guitar, bass, and drums – along with lead singer and rhythm guitarist Marc Pinilla (a Belgian from a Spanish family).

The songs on their 2010 debut album, "On attend" features well crafted melodies and catchy hooks. Their are signed with France on Remark/Univeal records and their website is www.suarezlegroupe.be.
El Camino
SUAREZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ni te estaba olvidando, contrario
Puedo ponerme a pensar
De cualquier modo
Y estoy lejos también
No sé si estás acá
O en otro lado
Sintiendo
Yo que ya pasaba indiferente
Por todos esos lugares
Pero no me olvido de eso
Nunca
Una pizarra en el cemento
Donde bailabas con un amigo
Cierta puerta, cierta esquina
Tengo la llave vamos corriendo
Una demolición
Es arena
Barro el camino
Sin recuerdos
Sin recuerdos
Sin recuerdos
No si estás acá
O en otro lado
No sé si estás acá
Pero qué raro
Como te estoy sintiendo
Como te estoy sintiendo
Como te estoy sintiendo
Como te estoy sintiendo
In Suarez's song "El Camino," the singer appears to be reflecting on the memory of somebody with whom they shared a connection with. The opening lines of the song state that the singer was not actively seeking or forgetting this person. However, they are still thinking of them in some capacity since they feel far away. The lyrics suggest that the person may still hold some significance in the singer's life, despite not actively being in contact with them.
The following lines of the song convey this further, as the singer states that they do not know if this person is still present in their current location or if they have moved on elsewhere. However, they acknowledge a strange feeling of familiarity when thinking of this person. The singer seems to be conflicted about the memory of this person, as they previously passed by the same places indifferently, but they cannot seem to forget this person entirely.
Throughout the song, the singer mentions specific places associated with their shared memories, such as a chalkboard and corner. There's also a sense of urgency in the lyrics when the singer mentions a demolition and wants to run back to share the experience with the person. However, despite these memories, the singer ultimately recognizes that the path forward is one of forgetting the past, as evidenced by the repetition of "sin recuerdos" at the end of the song.
