While in high school he met Carlos Alberto "Nito" Mestre. With him and Carlos Piegari, Beto Rodriguez and brothers formed Sui Generis Belia, who, after suffering several defections, was turned into a duet. American folk style, very fashionable at that time, they recorded three albums: "Life" (1972), "Confessions of Winter" (1973) and "little anecdotes about the institutions'. For various reasons, the duo separated in 1975, but not before organizing a farewell concert, during which there was a double album, "Goodbye Sui Generis".
In 1976 he recorded an album with Porsuigieco, along with acoustic rock leaders: Raul Porchetto, León Gieco, Nito Mestre and María Rosa Yorio.
Birds making machine is the name of his next band, an innovative project that symphonic rock shore. In his short life he had two albums released: "The Birds Making Machine" (1976) and "Movies" (1977).
Between 1978 and 1982, Garcia leads Seru Giran, one of the key bands in the National Rock. With this group released five albums: "Seru Giran" (1978), "The Fat of the Capitals' (1979)," Bicycle "(1980)," Peperina "(1981) and" Do not Cry for Me, Argentina "(1982 ).
In that same year he began his solo career. Raul de la Torre commissioned the soundtrack of his film "Pubis Angelical". Simultaneously recorded "Going from the bed to the Living." Aided by the spread that was given at that time to the National Rock through the media (during the Falklands War was forbidden to play music in English), the album was well received by the public. Songs anthologies arose from it, such as "Do not bomb Buenos Aires"
"Collective unconscious" or "I do not want to become so crazy." For this work, the band consisted of Willy Iturri on drums, guitar Bazterrica Gustavo, Puppy Lopez on bass and keyboards Andres Calamaro. This material was presented in a stunning concert - to 25,000 - in the Ferrocarril Oeste Stadium, on December 26, 1982. At the opening of the show, Charlie hit the stage on board a pink Cadillac and, in closing, a shower of missiles destroyed the city of props that formed the backdrop, while the last chord sounded "not bomb Buenos Aires".
In his next solo work ("Modern Hits", 1983), leaned more to the pop-rock, but the song is contesting a place in, for example, 'Dinosaurs'
The Garcia essential trilogy is completed with "Piano Bar" (1984), an album that has rocker in "Demolishing Hotels 'and' Strange new hairstyles" his greatest achievements.
Along with Pedro Aznar - and not without raising some nostalgia - recorded "Tango" (1986). This material was presented at the Paladium nightclub on March 26. Its spread was very low, although it gave the impression that the project was for more.
In 1987 came "part of religion", considered by many as the best album of the Garcia solo. This material was recorded and performed almost entirely by him and reciprocates a strong rock melodic choruses. It is surely one of its most prolific and compact discs, from the cover to the contents of the letters.
In 1988 after composing the soundtrack of the movie "What will come" Gustavo Mosquera (in which he also starred as a nurse), worked on his next solo album, "How To Get Girls" (1989), essentially a job collection of individual songs, which García, for various reasons, had never recorded.
To launch his next album "Barata Philosophy and Rubber Shoes" (1990), Garcia had to overcome a prosecution for "offending patriotic symbols" since that LP included a version of the Argentine National Anthem, which ultimately ended up being authorized by the courts.
1993 was a year of recording silence, but a lot of media presence. The resort in Punta del Este left several pages printed on scandals he was involved always. Followed several admissions to detoxification clinics.
By October started touring again in Ferro ending in late December. The support band, "Pocket Money" suffered the defection of Carlos Garcia Lopez and Hilda Lizarazu, both heading for their individual projects (the Lopez Garcia Band and Man Ray, respectively). Maria Gabriela Garcia called Epumer (ex-widow and daughters), to fulfill both functions, guitar and vocals.
In February of '95 was presented at the International Song Festival, the World Cup Stadium in Mar del Plata, with Paralamas, Antonio Birabent and Faithfull Marianne. Taking advantage of the fury of the acoustic performances, Garcia was presented in the series "Unplugged" of American television network MTV, with a show that included topics of all stages and was put on the air for all Latin America in July and released on CD the end of that year. The material was performed live at the Teatro Gran Rex, in late '95.
In the summer of '99 was the big draw free cycle Buenos Aires Vivo III, organized by the city government in Puerto Madero. More than 150,000 people cheered Garcia in a show dedicated to missing and recorded live for the album "Too Ego '. That same year he returned to the controversy, to organize a private recital for President Carlos Menem. That show was recorded in "Charly & Charly" limited edition disc that was released.
Three years would pass before Garcia returned to the disc, and the format of song in his creations. "Influence" (2002) was in "Your vice 'broadcast cut, but the rest of the material is far more interesting than that catchy tune but superfluous.
Already in 2003 published "Rock and Roll Yo 'court whose first broadcast" Asesiname "was very well.
After hundreds of scandals in his recitals and fights with his son Migue, Charly hopes to release "Kill Gil" in 2007. The plate, recorded in studies of Palito Ortega, located in San Juan, and mixed in New York, contains topics like "Concrete Heart", the bicolor sings a duet with Ramon "Palito" Ortega, "No matter" (which had already sounded several times live) and covers of John Lennon ("Watching the Wheels" Castilian adaptation of "Watching the Wheels") and Stones ("Play with Fire", sung by producer Andrew Loog Oldham)....
Cómo Me Gustaría Ser Negro
Charly Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bailas como un puercoespín
Girando a mi alrededor
Sin tu amor soy un delfín
Que no tiene monitor
Si yo fuera un ciudadano de primera
Amparado por una constitución
Yo te podría decir que me cago en tu amor
Y con mucho olor
Veo lo que quería ver más
El pescado de un ballet
No paraba de sangrar
Si estuviera enamorado por primera vez
Quizás te podría alcanzar un algodón
Pero no hay por aquí nada blanco mi amor
Como me gustaría ser negro
Y con mucho olor
Hablando al pueblo por televisión
The lyrics of Charly García's song Cómo Me Gustaría Ser Negro reflect a disillusionment with the societal structures that discriminate against people of color, while also highlighting the artist's desire to break free from the constraints of his own identity. In the opening lines, García describes his situation as a "bad dream," with the object of his affection spinning around him like a porcupine. He then compares himself to a dolphin without a monitor, highlighting his sense of vulnerability in a world that seems hostile to his desires.
The second stanza of the song sees García expressing frustration with the limits placed upon him by his social status, which he links to his inability to express his feelings for his love interest. He imagines what it would be like to be a first-class citizen with the constitutional protections that come with that status, allowing him to reject his lover's overtures and proclaim his desire to be black and smelly.
In the final stanza, García shifts his perspective to that of a storyteller speaking directly to the people via television. Here, he seems to suggest that it is only through the collective effort of the oppressed that they might achieve the kind of power and freedom that he imagines for himself.
Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who sees the world as fundamentally rigged against him, but who nonetheless holds onto a dream of liberation and transformation. It is a poignant and deeply felt meditation on the nature of identity and the power structures that shape it.

Esto es parte de un mal sueño...
Bailas como un puerco espín
Girando a mi alrededor
Sin tu amor soy un delfín
Que no tiene monitor

Yo te podría decir que me quemo en tu amor

No paraba de sangrar
Si estuviera enamorado por primera vez
Quizás te podría alcanzar un algodón
Pero no hay por aquí nada blanco mi amor
Como me gustaría ser negro
Y con mucho olor

Que tema de la puta madre, inexplicable. Lástima por los que no les llega esta maravillosa armonía.
Luis Rodríguez
Sí, es un tema maravilloso como todo Charly, este es muy extraño y eso es lo que la hace bellísima, espectacular y maravillosa.

Yo soy mexicano y siempre he sido fanático de Cerati desde Soda hasta su ultimo disco en solitario. También alucino con Charly, que no hace mucho anduvo por acá y se vistió de mariachi en el concierto. Los primeros discos de Miguel Mateos me encantan. A mi me gusta la música y no me interesa de donde viene. Por cierto en plan de compartir busquen música de la Barranca, es de lo mejor o lo mejor del rock mexicano.

@Luis Rodríguez pues usted lo dijo, es sample, no plagio
Luis Rodríguez
Tienes razón, pero Cerati robó mucho con sus sampleos, eso es plagio.
