'''''Canción Animal''''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]] for ''Animal Song'') is the fifth album released by the Argentine [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Soda Stereo]], released in September 1990 (see [[1990 in music]]). Many of the songs on the album are among the band's most popular, such as one of their biggest hits "''[[De Música Ligera]]''", the last song played in Soda Stereo's [[El Último Concierto|last concert]] in 1997, "Hombre al agua", "Un Millón de Años Luz", "Te para tres" and others. It is considered one of the best and most influential albums in the history of Latin American rock music.

Canción Animal (Spanish for Animal Song) is the fifth album released by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released on September 17, 1990 (see 1990 in music). Many of the songs on the album are among the band's most popular, such as one of their biggest hits "De Música Ligera", the last song played in Soda Stereo's last concert in 1997, "Hombre al agua", "Un Millón de Años Luz", "Te para tres" and others. It is considered one of the best and most influential albums in the history of Latin American rock music. The anthemic status of the album, and specifically "De Música Ligera", is perhaps due to the band's ability to tap into a feeling experienced by almost every Spanish-speaking nation of going from dictatorship (and thus censorship) to freedom at some point during the 20th century.[2] Many regard it as the best album to ever come out of South America.[3] In 2007, the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone ranked it 9 on its list of "The 100 Greatest Albums of National Rock".[4] The album sold 500,000 copies in Argentina alone.[5]
