Can anyone recommend something similar to Soda Stereo? I've been listening to their album Signos recently and my favourite tracks were Persiana Americana and El Rito.

You mean new wave or similar? Well, there were many good bands in the 80's. For instance, here we've mentioned Radio Futura, La Unión, Mecano, Enanitos Verdes, El Último de la Fila, Loquillo, Pistones, etc.


La Unión: Lobo-hombre en París ("A Werewolf in Paris").



♫ "Cae la noche y amanece en París, ................................ Night falls and it gets light in Paris,
en el día en que todo ocurrió ................................ in the day when all happened
como un sueño de loco sin fin. ................................ as an endless madman's dream.
La fortuna se ha reído de ti. ................................ Fortune has mocked you.

Sorprendido espiando, ................................ Caught spying,
el lobo escapa aullando y ................................ the wolf escapes howling and
es mordido ................................ he gets bitten
por el Mago de Siam. ................................ by the Wizard of Siam.

La luna llena sobre París ................................ The full moon over Paris
ha transformado en hombre a Denis. ................................ has transformed Denis into a man.

Rueda por los bares del bulevar. ................................ He wanders by the bars of the boulevard.
Se ha alojado en un sucio hostal. ................................ He stays in a seedy guesthouse.
Mientras está cenando, ................................ While he's having supper,
junto a él se ha sentado ................................ someone sits beside him:
una joven ................................ a young woman
con la que irá a contemplar ................................ with which he's gonna gaze at
la luna llena sobre París. ................................ the full moon over Paris.

Algunos francos cobra Denis. ................................ Denis earns some francs.
Lobo-hombre en París; ................................ A werewolf in Paris;
su nombre es Denis. ................................ his name is Denis.
................................
El hombre-lobo está en París; ................................ The werewolf is in Paris;
su nombre, Denis. ................................ his name, Denis.

La luna llena sobre París ................................ The full moon over Paris
ha transformado en hombre a Denis. ................................ has transformed Denis into a man.

Mientras está cenando ................................ While he's having supper,
junto a él se ha sentado ................................ someone sits beside him:
una joven ................................ a young woman
con la que va a contemplar... ................................ with which he's gonna gaze at...

...la luna llena sobre París ................................ ...the full moon over Paris
ha transformado en hombre a Denis. ................................ has transformed Denis into a man.

Lobo-hombre en París... ................................ A werewolf in Paris..." ♫


More suggestions:

*Nacha Pop: Vístete! ("Get Dressed!") and La chica de ayer ("Yesterday Girl", translation here).



*Tam Tam Go!: Espaldas mojadas ("Wetback") and Atrapados en la Red ("Trapped in the Web").




*Los Secretos: Déjame ("Leave Me Alone") and Y no amanece... ("And It Doesn't Get Light...").

I don´t know if Zaqarbal is still around - I haven´t seen him post for a while, and now I wish I´d voted for him as an under-the-radar member. He posts so much musical material, but doesn´t push his on-line personality. Got to admire his restraint !

Anyway, Zabarqal, if you´re still here, and if you have a long memory, you may recall that I once asked you about a band whose name was like a dinosaur. Well, I finally found them again. They are from Colombia and here is the first track that turns up on Youtube :-

Yep, I remember the Archaeopteryx or something like that. Aterciopelados means "the velvety ones" (terciopelo means velvet). The band was mentioned in this thread about three years ago. Bolero falaz ("Deceitful Bolero") is one of their best-known songs. It's a kind of satire about boleros (you can see a lyrics' translation here). Bolero songs were very popular in the whole Spanish-speaking world from the 40's to the 60's. They had a romantic and idealistic tone.
