Fasten your imaginary wings and dive into the night skies of Buenos Aires! En La Ciudad De La Furia paints the city as a stormy, electric jungle where a mysterious “winged man” glides over rooftops, hiding in the fog and shadows. He feels both invisible and deeply connected to every soul below, a lonely superhero who only finds freedom when the sun goes down and the streets clear. The lyrics mix vivid aerial imagery with raw urban emotion, showing how the city’s chaos can fuel both fear and exhilaration.
At its core, the song explores alienation, desire, and escape. The narrator plummets “like a bird of prey,” seeks refuge “between your legs,” and melts under daylight that burns his wings. Darkness becomes his sanctuary, while daylight exposes his vulnerabilities. By merging dreamlike flight with gritty cityscapes, Soda Stereo turns Buenos Aires into a character of its own: seductive, dangerous, and impossible to escape. Listening to this track is like joining a nocturnal flight over neon-lit avenues, feeling every gust of passion and fury the city has to offer!
Soda Stereo was a groundbreaking rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1982 by Gustavo Cerati, Zeta Bosio, and Charly Alberti. They are celebrated as the best-selling Argentine band of all time, having sold over seven million records by 2007. Their music evolved from a new wave and ska-influenced sound in their early years to a more alternative rock style, highlighted by their iconic hit "De Música Ligera".
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Soda Stereo revolutionised Latin American rock with albums like Nada Personal, Signos, and Canción Animal. Known for their charismatic performances and innovative music videos, they left a lasting legacy in the Latin rock scene. After disbanding in 1997, the band reunited briefly in 2007 and again from 2020 to 2022, continuing to influence new generations of music lovers.
