CERATI

Gustavo Cerati (born in Buenos Aires on August 11, 1959) is an Argentinian artist and songwriter. During the 1980s and 90s he was a member of the Argentinian Rock en Español group Soda Stereo along with Charly Alberti and Zeta Bosio. In the early 90s, with Amor Amarillo, he pursued a solo career. Many have described his music as Electro-Rock.

Cerati is known for his lead and rhythm guitar talents and for his ability to play intricate lead solos on guitar while singing in key. He released his latest album, Ahí Vamos in April 2006, in which his guitar playing is featured prominently as opposed to the heavy use of electronic samplers as in Bocanada. Ahí Vamos was certified platinum in Argentina in only one day.

Despite stating that the Grammys do not matter to him, he attended the Latin Grammys ceremony on November 2, 2006 where he won for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song.
