translated from Spanish: Benito Cerati explained why he wouldn’t want a series of his dad to be made

Benito Cerati was invited to Jey Mamón’s program and told how his childhood and adolescence were and his relationship with his father, Gustavo Cerati. To break the ice the driver asked him if it was true that he recorded over the years his first record in the yard of his house, to which the young musician detailed with details that moment of his life: “Until I was 15, 16 years old on every birthday I did shows at my house, and at five my old man gave me the rhythm machine , and bought a tape recorder; unknowingly I started experimenting with songs and he recorded everything. In fact, you suddenly hear on the floppy disk, ‘Dad, what this button is for,'” He recalled a laugh, “He stressed that as a kid he was “inflated a lot.” “I felt really like a special child,” he continued, then ironized, “Maybe it was special, I didn’t move forward and stayed.” Then, as a child, he commented that “for a long time I was quite naif, I made my music and I did not know what was being said, I did not usually have contact with the outside; it was my life, my friends. My dad was my dad, he made very good music, but I separated things.” The interview went through different moments and moods, and defined his dad as a “super present.” The most emotional moment had to do with the time Benito told his dad that he was nominated for the Gardel Awards “You came to tell your dad that you were nominated for the Gardel Awards”. “I read that he had a reaction that was exactly what my dad had when I told him I was going to have this program, when he was in intensive care, I swear,” the driver told him, detailed his father’s reaction: “He had like a cold mutt and with his hands he made strength.” It was exactly Gustavo’s reaction, Benito confirmed: “Yes, it was.” Asked about the possibility of making a series that tells the life of Gustavo Cerati, Benito replied: “I don’t like biopices, and I feel that my old man wouldn’t like to be made either, it’s like too special for someone else to do.” He even claimed he couldn’t play his father either.
