Biography

Buenos Aires, Argentina (1959 – present)

Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clark (born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on August 11, 1959) better known as Gustavo Cerati is an Argentinean guitarist, producer, occasional bass player, lyricist, and vocalist. During the 1980’s and until mid-1990’s he was the visible leader of Soda Stereo, -arguably Argentina’s most important rock band.

Cerati is currently in a coma after suffering a stroke on May 15, 2010 in Caracas during his Fuerza Natural tour.

Widely acknowledged for his lead and rhythm guitar talents and also for his ability to play lead solos while singing in perfect key, Cerati is one of the most prolific and important rock musicians in Latin America.

Cerati founded Soda Stereo in 1982 with Zeta Bosio. Drummer Charly Alberti joined them later. The band dissolved in 1997.

He released his first solo effort Amor Amarillo in 1993, while still a member the band.

Zeta Bosio and then-wife Cecilia Amenábar collaborated on this project. The album featured more introspective lyrics, a fair amount of electronic experimentation and was well received by both the critics and the public. After 1997, Cerati embarked in a couple of projects that dealt exclusively with electronic music. He formed the group Plan V together with Chilean musicians Andrés Bucci, Guillermo Ugarte and Christian Powditch, and shortly after the duo Ocio with Flavio Etcheto.

He released his second solo album Bocanada in 1999. The record embraced both the style that made Soda Stereo famous, and a newer style reminiscent of his electronic projects.
