Creo firmemente en que la vida est谩 llena de causalidades y no de casualidades, y quiz谩s el que en mi adolescencia muchos m煤sicos argentinos hayan estado presentes, marc贸 algo en mi subconsciente, como para en el momento en el que necesit茅 salir de Venezuela, mi destino fuera este pa铆s.

Corr铆an los a帽os 90, cuando terminaba mi educaci贸n secundaria y en las radios venezolanas se escuchaba mucha m煤sica proveniente del sur del continente. En aquel entonces, creo que todas est谩bamos enamoradas secretamente de Gustavo Cerati y su amor "De m煤sica ligera".

Quedaba atr谩s la 煤nica referencia que ten铆a de Argentina, que era Diego Maradona en el mundial del 86 y por supuesto su ubicaci贸n en la geograf铆a mundial, ya que no solo era Soda Est茅reo quien lleg贸 a mi vida para dejar una huella significativa.

Ya en la Universidad, por el a帽o 1994 en adelante, Charly Garc铆a y Fito P谩ez formaban parte del soundtrack de los pasillos de mi alma mater. Recuerdo que para entonces, yo solo los escuchaba en la radio o cuando alguno de mis compa帽eros lo colocaba en su discman con unas cornetas de computadora.

Esos momentos eran realmente especiales, sobre todo en la 茅poca de ex谩menes parciales y finales, cuando los nervios estaban a flor de piel, esta camada de cantantes, nos hac铆an llevaderos los d铆as de insomnio y miedos.

Y este post no puede estar completo si faltaran dos de mis bandas favoritas, que todav铆a las escucho y provocan el mismo efecto efusivo en mi cerebro. La primera son los Fabulosos Cadillacs, y quien pudiera decir que no se carg贸 con su particular ritmo en las canciones de Matador y Mal Bicho? aunque tambi茅n nos brindaba ritmos tranquilos como Calaveras y Diablitos.

Y para cerrar con broche de oro, la banda Los Pericos, que son todav铆a una de las bandas que tengo en mi playlist. Si estaba enamorada en secreto de Cerati, mi amor por Bahiano era a todas voces (por favor, no me juzguen... ten铆a 20 a帽os!)

Muchos a帽os despu茅s, cuando la situaci贸n en Venezuela nos llev贸 a aventurarnos a emigrar, Argentina lleg贸 a las opciones sin mucho pensar, y a nuestra llegada a la tierra del tango y de estas bandas, nos encontramos con otra realidad sonora, aunque en mi memoria siempre perdurar谩n los ritmos argentinos que marcaron mi adolescencia.

I firmly believe that life is full of causalities and not coincidences, and perhaps the fact that many Argentine musicians were present during my adolescence had an impact on my subconscious, leading me to this country when I needed to leave Venezuela.

It was the 90s, as I finished my high school education and Venezuelan radios played a lot of music from the southern part of the continent. Back then, I think we were all secretly in love with Gustavo Cerati and his song "De m煤sica ligera."

The only reference I had of Argentina at that time was Diego Maradona in the 1986 World Cup and, of course, its location in the world geography, until Soda Est茅reo came into my life to pave the way for others who undoubtedly left a significant mark.

In University, from 1994 onwards, Charly Garc铆a and Fito P谩ez were part of the soundtrack of the hallways of my alma mater. I remember listening to them only on the radio or when a classmate played them on their discman with computer speakers.

Blessed be the day when a friend said to me, "I have it on cassette, if you want I can lend it to you so you can record them," and of course, I accepted her offer and could have their music in my room whenever I felt like it!

Those moments when we were gathered for a group project or studying something, and their songs played, were truly special, especially during midterm and final exam periods when nerves were on edge. This group of singers made the sleepless and fearful days bearable.

And this post wouldn't be complete without two of my favorite bands, whom I still listen to and have the same effusive effect on my brain. The first is Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and who could resist dancing to their particular rhythm in songs like "Matador" and "Mal Bicho"? Although they also brought us mellow tunes like "Calaveras y Diablitos."

And to end on a high note, the band Los Pericos, which still remains on my playlist. If I was secretly in love with Cerati, my love for Bahiano was no secret (please, don't judge me... I was 20 years old!).

Many years later, when the situation in Venezuela forced us to venture into emigration, Argentina quickly became an option, and upon our arrival in the land of tango and these bands, we encountered a different musical reality. However, in my memory, the Argentine rhythms that marked my adolescence will always endure.
