Early life and Soda Stereo[edit]

Cerati was born on 11 August 1959 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He grew up in a middle class
household; his paternal family was of Lombard descent [11] and his maternal family was of Irish
origin.[12] His father was an accountant and regularly traveled abroad. From his early memories
he had an idyllic love of the sun and nature. Ceratis first passion was art and in elementary
school he drew Comics and created his own Comic book characters.
Ceratis parents acquired a guitar for him when he was nine years old, at that point Cerati
started to take music seriously, becoming a fanatic of rock and roll:
Los que me pegaron en ese momento fueron Hendrix con "Purple Haze" y The Who con
"Pictures of Lily". Durante semanas los escuch sin parar. Ah se me despert el deseo de
tocar, de armar un grupo (English: The ones who struck me at the time were Hendrix with
"Purple Haze" and The Who with "Pictures of Lily". During weeks, I listened non-stop. That is
when the desire to play, to start a band, was awakened).[13]
By the age of 13 he formed a trio and started playing at house parties and in the
local Catholic school, where he eventually joined the choir.[14] Cerati was a good student until
his third year of Junior High School when he met a fellow student who, like himself, was into
Rock and Roll,
He was more advanced in everything, he smoked marijuana and had many records. At that
moment I started to separate myself from my classmates. I started listening to Progressive
rock because this guy had everything, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Deep Purple, Led
Zeppelin, Yes, Soft Machine,Roxy Music...My dad used to travel outside on business trips and
he started bringing me records. In 1973 it was not easy to have imports. In Argentinathe
records came out a long time after....they came out. My father brought me my first imported
guitar, a Gibson. I went to meet him at the airport and it was unforgettable.
After serving compulsory military service in 1979 Cerati entered the university to pursue a
degree in marketing, something that he was not passionate about. His family supported him
with his music, "Mi familia me vio tan enloquecido con la msica, que pensaron que algo de
xito iba a tener" (My family saw that I was so crazy about music, that they thought I would
have some success [with it]). At the Universidad del Salvador, a Jesuit university in Buenos
Aires, he met Hctor "Zeta" Bosio, also a marketing student. The two hit it off and decided to
form a band. They were fans of The Police, The Beatles, XTC, Elvis Costello, television,

and The Talking Heads. In 1982, after various lineup changes that included Richard Coleman,
Daniel Melero, and Andrs Calamaro as well as others, Bosio and Cerati recruited Charly
Alberti as their drummer, thus forming Soda Stereo.[14]
Soda Stereo signed to Sony Music in 1984 and released their debut LP Soda Stereo that same
year. Nada Personal ("Nothing Personal") followed in 1985 giving Soda Stereo their first hit
with "Cuando pase el temblor" ("When the Earthquake Ends"). Soda released Signos ("Signs")
in 1986, Doble Vida ("Double Life") (produced by longtime David Bowie collaborator Carlos
Alomar) in 1988, and Cancin Animal ("Animal Song") in 1990. During the 1990s Soda
Stereo releasedDynamo in 1992, Sueo Stereo ("Stereo Dream") in 1995, and their final
album Comfort y Msica Para Volar ("Comfort and music to fly with") in 1997.
