Gustavo Adrian Cerati Clark was born on August 11, 1958, in Buenos Aires.

The
Argentine rock legend is a towering figure in popular Latin American music, he was
the frontman of Soda Stereo, the most influential Latin American rock band of the '80s
and early '90s .

Mainly a guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, though graced with additional
musical abilities, Cerati will always be admired the most for his work with Soda Stereo.
The trio was formed in the early '80s and steadily rose to dizzying heights of popularity
throughout Latin America.

Gustavo Cerati was musically influenced early in his life by classic rock artists such as
the Beatles, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. In 1982, he formed Soda
Stereo with the bassist Zeta Bosio and drummer Charly Alberti.

The band established what would become the template for many other popular Spanish-
speaking pop and rock music groups: clever, often mysterious lyrics, pleasing musical
arrangements and an elaborate and glamorous aesthetic image. The band has sold over
10 million copies across Latin America.

With the release of albums such as Signos, Doble Vida and Canción Animal, Soda
Stereo became one of the most critically acclaimed Argentine rock bands, being the first
one to tour through Latin America, and achieving a success that no other local rock
band had achieved before.

In 1997, after a farewell tour through various countries and finally Argentina, they
disbanded due to personal problems between the members and different artistic criteria.
On September 20, Soda Stereo played their last show, in front of 75,000 people at the
Estadio Monumental (or River Plate Stadium) in Buenos Aires.

He was married to Chilean model [[Cecilia Amenabar]] from 1992 till 2002. They have
two children: Lisa and Benito. Cecilia collaborated in vocals and double bass in
Gustavo's first solo album: Amor Amarillo, but it was no preparation for what he
himself considered his official solo debut, Bocanada (1999).

An intensely ambitious album incorporating guitar rock, electronica, and orchestral

arrangements, Bocanada was a prodigious undertaking, one that earned Cerati both
acclaim and scorn -- acclaim from those who saw it as a masterpiece, and scorn from
those who disdained his increasingly evident artistic pretensions, furthermore holding
his whimsical nature responsible for the dissolution of Soda Stereo

Nevertheless, Cerati refused to curb his ambitions, releasing a trio of albums in 2002
that explored various styles: + Bien, an ambient film soundtrack; 11 Episodios
Sinfónicos, an orchestral concert performance; and Siempre Es Hoy, an electronic rock
album.
 However, just when it seemed as though Cerati's experimentation had alienated an
ever-growing segment of his audience, he returned to his roots in 2006 with Ahí Vamos,
a surging guitar rock album that was showered with praise from all corners and
promptly ushered him back into the Latin American music mainstream.

fuerza natural the last album by Gustavo Cerati, released on 1 September 2009. the
album features a folk sound with acoustic guitars and presece of mandolins. The first
cut of the album was deja vu. It also includes songs such as “Fuerza Natural”, “rapto”.

On May 15, 2010, Cerati suffered a stroke due to a decompensation after his
performance in Caracas, Venezuela. He was hospitalized in Caracas under medical
observation.Cerati underwent surgery to relieve pressure on his brain due to the
