Weekly Debate: Reunited and it would feel so good

Yesterday, VivirLatino linked to an article last week from the New York Daily News which claims that classic Argentine rock en español trio Soda Stereo may reunite.

According to the article, ex-band member (and successful solo act) Gustavo Cerati alluded to the possibility of having Soda get together a decade after breaking up and bassist Hector Bosio said that "If they call me, I go."

Soda Stereo has been highly influential not only in the Americas but around the world and a reunion would be much loved by legions of rock en español fans. It would be sheer bliss to hear the again in concert singing tunes like “De Musica Ligera”, “Profugos”, and (my personal favorite) “Persiana Americana.”

So what do you think? Should Soda Stereo reunite or would that harm their legacy? If they do get together, should they record new songs or stick to their classics? Should other defunct rock en español groups reunite or make space for newer bands?

Let us know what you think by commenting to this post and/or voting in our poll located on the sidebar. (Poll closes on May 21st).

They should record new songs! I'd love to hear what that chemistry gives after so many years.

More, a concert-only reunion would never come to Europe ;)

I'm sure Soda would give the Euros some love if they were to reunite!

Perhaps they can emulate the Pixies' recent reunion tour and call it the "Soda Stereo Sellout Tour"!!
