Review

“De música ligera” is one of the greats Spanish Rock songs ever, the song lyrics are easy but the musical composition and arrangements are just another level that sent Spanish Rock to fame back then in 1990. The song was written and sung by the famous musician Gustavo Cerati and interpreted by the Argentine band Soda Stereo. “De música ligera” is the number 1 song in the best Spanish rock song of all time. Gustavo Cerati in an interview revealed that the lyrics of the song refer to a woman, but that woman is not other than the music itself, that’s why the lyrics speak about a beautiful, intriguing girl who sleeps over the crowds.

You won’t have problems practicing with this song, it is easy, rhythmical, and catchy, it is great to listen to if you want a good song without taking too much time translating complex lyrics and words.
