In 1979, Zeta met Gustavo Cerati in college, but did not become friends. During the Summer of 1982 both agreed at Punta del Este (Uruguay) with his group Cerati and Bosio Sauvage (??) in The Morgan. Due to a series of adventures, Cerati and Bosio established a close musical bond and friendship, which led them to start playing together.
Zeta and Gustavo shared the same musical tastes and dreams and began a search for integrating a punk rock group inspired by The Police (who played the same year in Argentina), with their own songs in Spanish. Cerati first joined The Morgan and then formed a band called the Stress (along with Charlie Amato and drummer Pablo Guadalupe) and Erekto Project (with Andres Calamaro), with the latter not meeting their expectations. Shortly after Gustavo and decided to visit Charly Alberti (son of the famous percussionist Tito Alberti and four years younger than Bosio), to hear him play the drums from his father. Soda Stereo was formed there, which publicly debuted in July 1983.
