"Zero fue una de las bandas de la movida de rock uruguayo post-dictadura, si bien lo que ellos realizaban no era rock en el sentido puro de la palabra. Su estilo musical se basó en el uso de sintetizadores y pueden considerarse los pioneros en Uruguay de lo que luego se daría a conocer como música electrónica. Aunque el enfoque de Zero era más industrial y post-punk de los años 1980, contando también con influencias de bandas como The Sisters of Mercy, Kraftwerk, Bauhaus, New Order y la primera etapa de Depeche Mode."

Googlish:

"Zero was one of the band's move Uruguayan rock post-dictatorship, but what they carried was not rock in the purest sense of the word. Their musical style was based on the use of synthesizers and can be considered the pioneers in Uruguay of what later would become known as electronic music. Though Zero approach was more industrial and post-punk 1980s, also having influences from bands like the Sisters of Mercy, Kraftwerk, Bauhaus, New Order and first stage of Depeche Mode."

Update via elgouchoandres in the comments: "Yeah sure, I was there at that time. I think I have some pics but none playing that "keytar". Eduardo Gómez had two synths, a heavily modified Korg MS20 and a custom PAiA 4700. He had cut the keybed of the MS20 and used it sometimes stacked with the PAiA keyboard and sometimes side-to-side.
For filming this video was used one of the keyboards with a dummy grip. I'm 99,99% sure it was the PAiA's keyboard because the MS20 keyboard had white stripes painted on."
