Guess they were promoting Signos, which was released the previous November and then had the three singles coming out throughout the year.Crowd noise on this sounds like some Beatles stuff#onethread

Crowd doesn’t quite know “Persiana Americana” yet. There is some screaming when he starts singing but that’s it.

My music listening in general lately has been slow, but I did finally hear Amor Amarillo (hooray for titles even I can understand). "Lisa" and "Te llevo para que me lleves" are good, the latter a cool take on Isn't Anything MBV, but thought the rest was pretty sluggish. I will give Bocanada another listen eventually but so far I much prefer Soda to Cerati solo

Think the production is less dense on his solo stuff but his singing, songwriting and guitar playing is still strong.

That could be it. I think I tend to like fuller productions in general

Too much time on this thread:Just a few hours ago I overheard someone saying “Gracias” and my mind automatically added “Totales!”

Just read more about when he did that Police tribute song. Pretty interesting.

good timing, I just dug out Canción Animal for the first time in a while. for some reason I have a hard time remembering its tracks (apart from "De Música Ligera"), so I forget how good it is
― Vinnie, Thursday, 29 February 2024 23:54 (three months ago) link
Ha exactly! That album is full of great tracks, many of them also live staples. Often I forget “De Música Ligera” is even on there.

Also many of these tracks not so uptempo so kind of heavier but still really cool.
― The Ginger Bakersfield Sound (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 March 2024 00:44 (two months ago) link
Yeah they play with time signature, mood, tempo to create a pretty diverse set of songs. Though they throw "Cae el Sol" at the end so you get an anthemic chorus
Also wtf... 9 of the 10 songs were released as singles??
― Vinnie, Friday, 1 March 2024 11:54 (two months ago) link
Forgot about that.

What an amazing album Bocanada is.

OTM. Kind of amazing how his solo career was a match for his band years and how many there are who prefer the solo stuff.

Top 10 latinamerican albums of all time and Cerati probably a top 3 latinamerican artist.
