Remembering ... Viruses

Virus

Excellent Argentine group that had its most creative stage when it was led by the ineffable Federico Mora. I can see it in my mind, playing with the oranges thrown at him by the public in the early 'XNUMXs. 80, in response to the subtle provocation he displayed on stage.

His sincerity, innovation, dedication, and concern, earned him the cover of several magazines, as well as being compared to nothing less than David Bowie, allowing a glimpse of the enormous gap that already at that time, separated him from the other local artists.

Both musically and aesthetically, a kind of generational revolution was born thanks to them that would be continued by important groups to come, although at first it did not seem like it or almost no one dared to recognize it.
His highest level of popularity would come in the year 1985, with the release of the album called Madness, with which from the hand of songs like “a honeymoon in hand" or "prompt delivery”, They would finish establishing themselves as a great band beyond the borders of their country.

If I had to choose an album that for me means the legacy of Virus to the world, it would undoubtedly be the Pleasure Surfaces. This work is the last I would develop Federico, because the disease that afflicted him for some time, the HIV, was already in the terminal phase.

Surfaces de Placer symbolizes the enormous talent of this musician, who, defying his announced destiny, decides to drink every last drop of his life giving everything of himself, completely stripping his soul, and expressing feelings and emotions in each song he performed..
