Watch Fricción's Ultimate Spanish Version of David Bowie's 'Heroes'

“Heroés” was recorded in 1987, when the inspirational anthem had special meaning for rockers leading a cultural revolution in a country just emerged from dark times under a military regime. Fricción would be short-lived, and Coleman moved on to other projects, but such was the Bowie cover’s popularity that he has continued to perform it over the years with other bands.

In this video, Cerati joins Coleman and his band 7 Delfines performing “Héroes” during a 2003 show at a club in Buenos Aires.

Here’s Fricción’s recording of “Heroés”

Bowie himself finally arrived in Buenos Aires for the final concert of his 1990 Sound and Vision tour at River Plate stadium. The massive crowd, familiar with Fricción’s version, reportedly sang along in Spanish when he performed “Heroes.”
