I did not know the man so I will not speak to that. However I have known and loved his music for many years now. His lyrical poetry, always beautiful voice and the soundscapes he would create through electronica and guitars are unlike any other and no one will take his place. I will forever be thankful for the music he made and that it will be around for always.
I have selected 9 of my favorite
songs of his – 3 from his band Soda Stereo, 5 of from solo work and 1 song he
wrote for/with Shakira which easily ranks as one of the best in her
catalogue. This barely scratches the
surface of his musical legacy and I encourage anyone to dig deeper and discover
more of this amazing artist.
I believe what Shakira wrote
regarding Gustavo’s passing is particularly poignant and I will leave it here:
Gustavo, aún nos queda por hacer la canción mas
importante de todas.
...te quiero amigo, y sé que me quieres!
...tal como me enseñaste, “usaré el amor como un puente¨
ese que nos une todo el tiempo.
importante de todas.
...te quiero amigo, y sé que me quieres!
...tal como me enseñaste, “usaré el amor como un puente¨
ese que nos une todo el tiempo.
