"ThIs Argentinian hit is THE PERFECT ROCK SONG!! Everything about it is spot on!
If there were any market these days for rock music on the charts (which I suspect there isn’t), someone should do for this what McCartney did with his demo for Badfinger's “Come and Get It”:
Find a band to record it in English and tell them “PLAY IT EXACTLY LIKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING HERE!”
You know -- on balance, I think he's right.
I should add that these Soda Stereo guys were apparently the biggest band in Argentina ever (the song above is from 1990 -- the band broke up in '97), and I love their look.
It's kinda like Paul Westerberg meets Slash meets Zal Yanovsky and then they all go out for a shot of tequila. 😎
Oh, and you can find out more about them (it's a very interesting story) over HERE.
De nada! 😎😎

Actually I enjoyed the video that appeared after the Soda Stereo... the one about the meeting between Bob Dylan and Frank Sinatra after Newport. Don't know if it was true or not, but I enjoyed it.
There's just no pleasing some people. 😎
Best 35 year old song I've heard today;>
Seriously, how'd this slip by without being translated into a monster hit?
I wasn’t convinced during the first verse do to a lack of guitar, but from the first chorus on, it rocked very well. Will check out more from them.
Here’s a different vibe from my favorite Argentine band, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. How can one not like a song with this (translated) chorus: “Skulls and devils invade my heart”?

That's adorable!!! 😎
I listened to 3 more of their songs and Soda Stereo is the real deal.
Thank you to your friend for turning us on to them!

Couple things -
You're right Zals doppelganger could be Zeta though my initial look said Jack White.
Thankfully Argentina is a long way from Venezuela for the time being.
