De Música Ligera
"De Música Ligera" (Spanish for ''Of easy-listening music'') is a song by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo from their fifth studio album ''Canción Animal'' (1990). It is one of Soda Stereo's most famous and symbolic songs, whose musical influence has been remarkable in the history of Latin rock for over two decades. Due to its popularity, the song is considered an anthem of rock en español. It was the last song performed on their farewell and semi-mythical concert " El ''Último Concierto''" in 1997. At the end of that song, the band's lead singer and songwriter Gustavo Cerati thanked the fans of the band with a phrase that became famous: "''Gracias... totales''" (Spanish for: "Absolutely... Thank you"). This moment is remembered as one of the all-time most exciting in the history of Latin American rock.

Songs Written By Gustavo Cerati
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...
