Gustavo Adrián Cerati Clark was an Argentine musician and singer-songwriter who gained international recognition for being the leader, vocalist, composer, and guitarist of the rock band, Soda Stereo. He is widely considered by critics and musicians as one of the most important and influential artists of Latin rock. Influenced by the Beatles and the Police, Cerati joined various groups during his adolescence, and in 1982, he founded Soda Stereo. As the band's leader and main composer, Cerati's songwriting matured with Signos, Canción Animal and Dynamo, all of which received near universal acclaim. Parallel to his career with the group, in 1992 he released the collaborative album Colores Santos with Daniel Melero, credited with popularising electronic music in South America. Following the initial separation of Soda Stereo, he released the critically acclaimed solo albums Amor Amarillo, Bocanada and Siempre es hoy, the latter two drew inspiration from dream pop, trip hop and downtempo. He returned to rock with his fourth album, Ahí vamos, containing some of his best-selling solo songs, such as "Crimen" and "Adiós".
