Summary

"Fuerza Natural" opens and names Cerati's fourth solo album, released September 2009 — the last record he completed before the stroke that ended his performing career. Co-written with his son Benito, the song fuses the urgent guitar architecture of his Soda Stereo years with the electronic layering that defined his solo work. It stands as both a commercial peak and an accidental farewell statement for one of Latin American rock's most influential voices.
