Post 7: Latin Rock!!!!

Hi all, today I want to talk about Latin rock, especially the Argentine and Chilean, is one of the favorite types of music.

I grew up in a town isolated from the musical news, everything came later, so around 14 I started listening to Soda Estereo and Los Prisioneros. I must admit that Soda Estereo has been my favorite band for years !!! Soda Stereo was formed in Buenos Aires in 1982; the vocalist and guitarist was Gustavo Cerati, "Zeta" played the bass and Charly Alberti the drums, loved Charly Alberti, while my friends sighed for Gustavo, I filled the walls of my piece with photos of the group (actually from several groups) and of Charly in particular. Soda Estereo has undoubtedly been one of the most influential and important Ibero-American bands of all time and they became a legend of Latin music and I still listen to them today.

I never went to a Soda concert but to another Argentine artist of my favorites who is Fito Paez, actually I've been to two of his concerts, the last one I went to was last year at Movistar Arenas, in Santiago, and many years ago I went to the Sausalito Stadium where he also played.

Within Chilean Rock, obviously, Los Prisioneros are my favorite band, not only because of their vocalizations but also because of their political and social criticism. Years ago, in 2001, and after 12 years apart, the band played at the National Stadium, that concert was unforgettable, I remember that it had hurt my hand and it was with surgical stitches and a lot of pain but I forgot everything, singing, dancing and jumping like never before! I think that the enthusiasm and the hope that they would meet again was shared by all of us who went to the stadium that time.
