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)....

Charly Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Por qué no puedo amarte?
¿Por qué no vienes hasta mí?
¿Por qué no cambias como el sol?
¿Por qué eres tan distante?
¿Por qué no cambias como el sol?
Me siento sólo y confundido a la vez
Ya no sé bien que decir, ya no sé más que hacer
Todo el mundo loco y yo sin poderte ver
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
Cerca de la revolución
El pueblo pide sangre
Cerca de la revolución
Yo estoy cantando esta canción
Que alguna vez fue hambre
Estoy cantando esta canción
Y si mañana es como ayer otra vez
Lo que fue hermoso será horrible después
No es solo una cuestión
De elecciones
No elegí este mundo, pero aprendí a querer
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
(Seguiré)
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
(Seguiré)
Yeh, yeh, yeah
Si estas palabras te pudieran dar fe
Si esta armonía te ayudara a creer
Yo sería tan feliz, tan feliz
En el mundo
Que moriría arrodillado a tus pies
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
(Seguiré)
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
(Seguiré)
Yeh, yeh, yeah
(Seguiré)
Pero si insisto
Yo sé muy bien que conseguiré
(Seguiré)
The lyrics of Charly García's song "Cerca De La Revolución" discuss the longing for love and the confusion that can arise from feeling isolated and disconnected from the world around you. The singer in the song expresses frustration at not being able to connect with the person they love, symbolized by the line "Porque no vienes hasta mí" or "Why don't you come to me." The repeated refrain of "Pero si insisto, yo se muy bien que conseguiré" or "But if I insist, I know very well that I will achieve" suggests a determination to overcome these obstacles and achieve the desired connection.
The song also touches on the theme of revolution, as the title suggests. The lyrics mention the people calling for blood and the singer is singing a song that was once about hunger. However, the song seems to suggest that revolution is not simply a matter of politics or elections but rather a personal struggle to connect with oneself and others. The line "No elegí este mundo, pero aprendí a querer" or "I did not choose this world, but I learned to love" speaks to the idea that love and connection can transcend societal structures and empower individuals to push for change.
Overall, "Cerca De La Revolución" is a powerful commentary on the human desire for connection and the challenges that can interfere with achieving it. Through its references to revolution and personal determination, the song offers a message of hope for those struggling to overcome obstacles in their own lives.
