It’s been 30 years since the release of Soda Stereo’s iconic album “Canción Animal” and the band’s legacy continues to live on. The album, which was released on August 22, 1990, marked a turning point in the band’s career and solidified their status as one of the most influential and beloved bands in Latin America.
To celebrate this milestone, the remaining members of Soda Stereo, Zeta Bosio and Charly Alberti, along with other collaborators, have come together to reminisce about the making of this iconic album and the impact it has had on their lives and the music industry.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Zeta Bosio shared his thoughts on the album’s 30th anniversary, saying, “It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since we released ‘Canción Animal’. It feels like just yesterday we were in the studio, pouring our hearts and souls into this album. It’s a special feeling to know that it still resonates with people after all these years.”
The album, which was produced by Gustavo Cerati, was a departure from the band’s previous sound and showcased a more experimental and mature side of Soda Stereo. It featured hits such as “De Música Ligera”, “Un Millón de Años Luz”, and “Té Para Tres”, which have become anthems for generations of fans.
Charly Alberti, the band’s drummer, also reflected on the album’s impact, saying, “We were going through a lot of changes at the time, both personally and musically. ‘Canción Animal’ was a reflection of that. It was a bold move for us, but it paid off. It’s amazing to see how it still resonates with people and how it continues to inspire new generations of musicians.”
The album’s success not only solidified Soda Stereo’s place in the music industry but also opened doors for Latin American bands to gain recognition on a global scale. With its unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, “Canción Animal” broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of Latin American artists.
To commemorate the album’s 30th anniversary, a special edition vinyl was released, featuring never-before-seen photos and a remastered version of the album. The band also announced a digital concert, where they will perform the album in its entirety, along with other hits from their extensive discography.
In addition to Zeta and Charly, other collaborators who worked on the album also shared their memories and thoughts on its 30th anniversary. Daniel Melero, who co-wrote several songs on the album, said, “It was a magical time. We were all young and full of energy, and that energy is reflected in the album. I am proud to have been a part of it.”
Gustavo Cerati’s sister, Laura Cerati, also shared her thoughts on the album, saying, “I remember when Gustavo played me the demos for ‘Canción Animal’. I knew it was going to be something special. It’s amazing to see how it has stood the test of time and continues to be loved by so many people.”
As fans eagerly await the digital concert and listen to the remastered version of the album, it’s clear that “Canción Animal” holds a special place in the hearts of many. Its impact on the music industry and its ability to transcend generations is a testament to the talent and vision of Soda Stereo.
