Una tarde de 2012, en el recital de U2 llevado a cabo en La Plata, Argentina, durante la gira Tour Latinoamericano 360 de la banda, un inspirado Bono mir hacia la audiencia y exclam No olviden a Gustavo Cerati! . La multitud de 60.000 fans inmediatamente ovacion de pie, mientras Bono dedicaba su canci n Moment of Surrender a Cerati -el adorado l der de la banda argentina Soda Stereo. Fue un momento sumamente emotivo, ya que Cerati hab a ca do en un coma sin final a la vista. El conmovedor tributo de Bono al cantante que muri hace 5 a os ser a el primero de muchos. A partir de este momento, una enorme diversidad de artistas, desde Shakira hasta Coldplay, se han tomado el tiempo en sus giras para reconocer al enorme talento e impacto que ha tenido Gustavo Cerati en el rock.
Para los fan ticos, septiembre trae la oportunidad de recordar el incomparable legado de Cerati -el ic nico rockero alternativo, cuya presencia permiti atraer la atenci n internacional a la m sica de Latinoam rica.
Conocido por su carisma, curiosidad y voluntad para experimentar, Cerati naci en Buenos Aires el 11 de agosto de 1959. Como fan tico del rock and roll desde sus inicios, empez a tocar la guitarra a los 9 a os de edad, citando a Jimi Hendrix como una gran influencia. A sus 13 a os ya hab a formado su primera banda. Otras de sus inspiraciones incluyeron al guitarrista Luis Alberto Spinetta, pionero del Rock Argentino y de la banda Almendra, y a Andy Summers de The Police.
En 1982, cuando Argentina emerg a de tiempos sombr os y agitaci n pol tica de varias d cadas, Cerati form Soda Stereo junto a H ctor Zeta Bosio como bajista, y Charly Alberti como baterista. El tr o lanz su primer lbum dos a os despu s, conformado por canciones como Por qu no puedo ser del jet-set? y Sobredosis de T.V. , que tocaban tem ticas relacionadas a la cultura como la lucha de clases, acompa adas de acordes sorprendentes y riffs de guitarra. Sin embargo, fue Nada Personal, el lbum lanzando al a o siguiente, el que les dio proyecci n desde R o Grande al R o de la Plata, con canciones como Juegos de seducci n , Nada personal , y Cuando pase el temblor -que tomaron por asalto el espectro radial, especialmente de M xico, Chile, Uruguay y Argentina.
Despu s del xito repentino, Cerati decidi cambiar su rumbo y colaborar, en 1992, con Daniel Melero, su cercano amigo y, adem s, miembro de la banda argentina de tecno-pop Los Encargados. El resultado de dicha fusi n fue Colores Santos, un lbum de pistas so adoras e introspectivas que recuerdan el sonido espacial y sintetizado de bandas brit nicas como New Order, gracias al uso pionero de Cerati de los samplers Akai MPC60 and Emax II.
Cerati continu experimentando y expandiendo su curiosidad, incluso en el sexto lbum de Soda Stereo Dynamo . M s shoegaze que rock tradicional, el lbum represent un desviaci n completa del trabajo anterior de la banda, y marc un nuevo momento en la evoluci n y escena del Rock Argentino. Hoy, Dynamo es considerado un ejemplo central del caracter stico sonido shoegaze, compar ndolo tambi n con Loveless de My Bloody Valentine, fundamental para el g nero.
Para 1996, la banda Soda Stereo se hab a separado oficialmente, por lo que Cerati concentr su energ a en la producci n de m sica electr nica. Cre el proyecto tecno Plan V con DJs chilenos: Andr s Bucci, Christian Powditch, y Guillermo Bassard. Tres a os despu s, lanz Bocanada, un lbum ambicioso, concebido como un viaje musical entre las l neas de la electr nica y el rock, dise ado para ser escuchado en un orden espec fico, desde el comienzo hasta el final.
Luego en 2006, Cerati sac Ah Vamos incluyendo el sencillo Crimen , que a la fecha, es la canci n m s popular del artista en Spotify -con m s de 88 millones de streams. Su lbum siguiente, lanzado en 2009, Fuerza Natural, coproducido con el premiado productor H ctor Castillo, fue reconocido por usar el mandol n y la guitarra Lap Steel . Ten a un sonido m s pac fico y orientado al folk -encajando, as , en la nueva direcci n de lo que ser a el ltimo lbum de Cerati.
Los d os musicales fueron los elementos definitorios de la carrera de Cerati, y seg n la cr tica chilena del rock, Paula Molina, fue su compromiso con las t cnicas y la experimentaci n de otros g neros, que luego fusion e incorpor en su m sica, lo que lo hizo tan popular. Ahora, luego de haber reflexionado sobre lo que fue su legado, lo que se destaca es su habilidad para hacer que la m sica trasciende los g neros y cruza las fronteras -m sica para todos los latinoamericanos. Como otra estrella del rock argentino, Andr s Calamaro declar : millones de personas llorar n la ausencia [de Cerati], pero siempre recordar n que sus canciones cambiaron la m sica latinoamericana para siempre .
En distinci n a su contribuci n a la m sica y al rock en espa ol, escuch esta playlist tributo que honra el imborrable legado de Gustavo Cerati.
