Soda Stereo became one of the most important and successful Latin American rock band of all time, selling out stadiums in their native Argentina and throughout Latin America and beyond.〔See: Soda Stereo#Legacy〕 According to the Spanish fanzine Indy Rock, "Gustavo Cerati is the most influential Rock en Español artist of the American continent, one of the most talented of the Argentinian musical scene." He was the recipient of many awards throughout his career including various Grammy's, MTV awards, as well as the MTV (Latin America) Legend Award with Soda Stereo, the first of its kind.〔See: MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica 2002〕 Cerati died on 4 September 2014 at the age of 55, after suffering a stroke four years earlier in Caracas, Venezuela which resulted in a coma. ==Early life and Soda Stereo== 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 and his maternal family was of Irish origin. His father was an accountant and regularly traveled abroad. From his early memories he had an idyllic love of the sun and nature. Cerati’s first passion was art and in elementary school he drew Comics and created his own Comic book characters. Cerati’s 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: 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. 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, 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 música, que pensaron que algo de éxito iba a tener" (My family saw that I was so crazy about music, that they thought I would have some success (it )). At the Universidad del Salvador, a Jesuit university in Buenos Aires, he met Héctor "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 Andrés Calamaro as well as others, Bosio and Cerati recruited Charly Alberti as their drummer, thus forming Soda Stereo.〔 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 ''Canción Animal'' ("Animal Song") in 1990. During the 1990s Soda Stereo released ''Dynamo'' in 1992, ''Sueño Stereo'' ("Stereo Dream") in 1995, and their final album ''Comfort y Música Para Volar'' ("Comfort and music to fly with") in 1997. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustavo Cerati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
