If you’ve never heard of , I’m about to change the course of your life. When you hear Soda’s incredible pop and rock anthems like “” and “,” you will feel like you can do anything. They. Jam.Hard.

Really, before stole the spotlight, Soda Stereo was one of most important exports. And the was the band’s front man. Soda Stereo broke up in 1997, but Cerati kept on jamming. He won a bunch of awards for his studio albums in the mid- to late aughts. In between his solo releases he even reunited with Soda for a in 2007.

The music that Cerati made on his own is just as lively and groovy as Soda’s, but is very much its own thing. The song featured here, “,” is from his first album following the breakup, . It’s not all crunchy guitars like the band’s older music. Rather, it introduced an electronic sound that was pretty ahead of its time in 1999 — for , anyway.

You wouldn’t necessarily know that from “Tabú,” though, which is a frenetic but somehow melodic opening to the album. Bursting into the air with layers of sound pressure from drum kits and a walking bass, followed by a guitar and then Cerati’s voice comes in and it’s just fucking magic!

Cerca del nuevo fin...

“Closer to some new end,” Cerati croons, stretching the final note of and every other last lyric that follows. Then he’s wailing into the mic as the music keeps pace. Never slowing, just building until Cerati can wail some more.

It might be a lot to ask, but when you jam to this, you have to turn it up! The song’s effect is best when you blast it. The cacophony has a strange way of coming together the louder it’s playing, and when you think it’s too much, or too loud, it surprises you with a perfect confluence of sounds.

The rest of Bocanada is like this, just like honey folding as it falls; so, let it run. Track numbers 4 through 6, especially: “Puente,” “Río Babel” and “Beautiful.”
