Gustavo Cerati was one of the most important artists of Argentine rock and led Soda Stereo, rock and pop band he integrated with Charly Alberti and Zeta Bossio between 1982 and 1997, and which was one of the most influential and popular of Ibero-American rock. His solo career, started at the beginning of the '90s placed him among one of the most prestigious rock musicians in the country.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cerati's 2010 stroke left him in a coma until his 2014 death; this concert happened while he was technically still alive, making it a uniquely liminal memorial.
Soda Stereo's 2007 comeback tour 'Me Verás Volver' was their last—Cerati's final show was in Caracas, 2010. This tribute features artists who all carry pieces of his sonic DNA.
