Suéter (in English: Sweater) was an Argentine rock band formed in mid-1981. The group has contributed to many classics in its country's popular songbook, such as "Amanece en la ruta", "Él anda diciendo", "Comiendo gefilte fish", "Vía México" and "Extraño ser".
Led by Miguel Zavaleta, it also was initially built by Fabiana Cantilo and Celsa Mel Gowland as showgirls. They Juan del Barrio (es) (keyboards) and Gustavo Donés (bass) were added, training with whom they recorded the first album. They had the support of Charly García who was invited as the opening act, but the public initially rejected.
Gradually they reached some recognition and some massive hits like "Vía México", a song from 1985, on the illegality of divorce, at a time when the country was preparing to establish the law permitting it.
In 1987, Miguel left the band to try a solo career without much success. Returning in 1994, with a renewed lineup and Miguel Zavaleta training as only original member (with Diego Chorno on guitar and keyboards; Jorge Álvarez on drums and Raúl Chevalier on bass, later replaced by Laura Gómez Palma).
In 2003, the original lineup that had recorded the first album in 1982 (Zavaleta, Dones, Minissale, del Barrio) with drummer meets Hernán "Fresa" Robic. The band stays together until 8 December 2007. Gustavo Donés dies, due to internal conflict and the group broke up shortly after leaving a new unreleased album.
