The musical legacy of Argentine musician Gustavo Cerati and his band Soda Stereo continues to be celebrated. On what would have been his 67th birthday, family members and fans honored his memory, while the Soda Stereo ECOS tour continued its run at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires. This tour utilizes advanced technology to reunite band members on stage and has reached approximately 500,000 people, with international dates planned through December.

Cerati and Soda Stereo are recognized as cornerstones of ‘Rock en español’. Since their 1984 debut, the band has influenced the genre by blending new wave, British ska, and pop. Their career included influential albums such as ‘Signos’, ‘Doble Vida’, and ‘Animal’, the latter of which produced the classic ‘De Música Ligera’ and featured Cerati’s famous farewell phrase, ‘Gracias Totales’.
