No Te Va Gustar

Five years after its founding, No Te Va Gustar independently released their debut studio album Solo de Noche, inspired by the emerging Latin rock.

In 2019, the band founded their own record label, Elefante Blanco, to release Otras Canciones, which featured collaborations with various Latin American musicians.

[2] After initial changes in the formation, the group stabilized as a trio made up of guitarist Emiliano Brancciari, bassist Mateo Moreno and drummer Pablo Abdala.

Between 1996 and 1997, with the inclusion of percussion and wind instruments, after the arrival of the musicians Pamela Retamoza, Emiliano García, Santiago Svirsky and Martín Gil, the music of the band began to evolve fusing various Latin American rhythms such as reggae, candombe, ska, salsa, and murga, without neglecting its rock essence.

[5] In 2004, the band toured different countries in South America, and at the end of the year their third studio album titled Aunque Cueste Ver El Sol was released.

[6] On 22 October, they released their fifth studio album called El Camino Más Largo, recorded at Elefante Blanco between May and August of the same year.

[3] In 2009, a concert tour to promote the album visited Buenos Aires at the Estadio Luna Park, Cuba, Costa Rica and European countries.

[7] Por Lo Menos Hoy, the band's sixth studio album, preceded by the single "Cero a la Izquierda",[8] was released in 2010.

[15] On 18 September, the band shared a picture with the words "El Calor del Pleno Invierno", hinting that this would be the title of their seventh studio album.

[16] The following day, No Te Va Gustar announced and released the song "A las Nueve", which served as the lead single from their album El Calor del Pleno Invierno.

[18] On 7 September 2014, the band released the song "Comodín", as the lead single from their eighth studio album, along with a music video directed by Gaby Nicoli.

[24] El Tiempo Otra Vez Avanza reached number one in Uruguay, being their second to do so, while "Comodín" and "Paranoia" charted on the Billboard Mexico Espanol Airplay.

It received a positive review from Rolling Stone and La Nación, with a score of four out of five stars,[23] and was presented on 11 and 12 April 2015 at the José Amalfitani Stadium, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Liniers.

"[28] It was recorded between July 2016 and March 2017, in the studios Elefante Blanco (Montevideo), Romaphonic (Buenos Aires), White Water Music (New York City) and Bass Station (Brooklyn).

[29] The band promoted the album with a concert tour throughout Uruguay, Mexico, United States, Argentina and other countries,[30] that culminated on 22 November 2018 at the Estadio de Obras.

[34] Following an extensive presentation tour to promote Suenan Las Alarmas, due to the band's 25th anniversary, they recorded Otras Canciones, at the Sala Hugo Balzo in Montevideo between 19 and 20 December 2018.

[37] The record "brings together classic songs that are not played in mass shows, but that are fundamental pieces of their albums, reinterpreted in an intimate way and based on acoustic instrumentation," said the group in a press release.

[38] It features guest vocals from Julieta Venegas, Draco Rosa, Jorge Drexler, Flor de Toloache, Catalina García and Hugo Fattoruso.

[39] After the departure of founding member percussionist Gonzalo Castex in 2020,[40] No Te Va Gustar confirmed that they were working on their tenth studio album, their first since Suenan las Alarmas in 2017.

[50] While Brancciari, the band's leader, focused on his solo project and his album Cada Segundo Dura una Eternidad (2022), No Te Va Gustar went a year without releasing music.

[55] In honor of the band's 30th anniversary, they will tour cities in Spain, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and other Spanish-speaking countries, as part of their Gira 30 Años.

Considered to be a pop rock band,[26][37] No Te Va Gustar went through several musical styles throughout their career, such as murga, candombe, punk,[43] reggae and ska.
