AllMusic[1]

Canción Animal (Spanish for Animal Song) is the fifth album by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released on September 17, 1990. Many of the songs on the album are among the band's most popular, such as one of their biggest hits "De Música Ligera", the last song played in Soda Stereo's last concert in 1997, "Hombre al agua", "Un Millón de Años Luz" and "Té para tres". It is considered one of the best and most influential albums in the history of Latin American rock music. The anthemic status of the album, and specifically "De Música Ligera", is perhaps due to the band's ability to tap into a feeling experienced by almost every Spanish-speaking nation of going from dictatorship (and thus censorship) to freedom at some point during the 20th century.[2] In 2007, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone ranked it 9th on its list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of National Rock".[3] The album sold 500,000 copies in Argentina alone.[4] In 2024, it was ranked 21st on the "Los 600 de Latinoamérica" list compiled by music journalists from several countries of the Americas, curating the top 600 Latin American albums from 1920 to 2022.[5]
