It is one of the key figures of contemporary music Argentina. His recording debut came in 1972, when he participated in the first record of Raul Porchetto, titled "Rock Christ."
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)....

The lyrics to Charly García's song Corazón de Hormigón are about how the heart is typically seen as soft and forgiving, but the listener's heart seems to be as hard as concrete. The singer urges the listener to soften their heart and be more forgiving. The repetition of the phrase "ablanda tu corazón" reinforces this message of softening one's heart. The use of the phrase "heart of wood" is also interesting, as it suggests that the listener is stubborn and inflexible. Overall, the song seems to be a plea for greater empathy and compassion.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that the song is about a relationship that has become strained due to one person's stubbornness. The singer is urging the stubborn partner to soften their heart and be more forgiving, in order to repair the relationship. Alternatively, the song could be a more general commentary on the need for greater compassion in society. Regardless of the specific interpretation, the central message of the song is clear: soften your heart.

Fue la primera composicion de Charly en su vida. Era un nene. Perdonenlo si no es Cinema Verite.
Peperina Glass
@Nico Pellex Todo bien Nico, PERO EL PROBLEMA RADICA en que público este tema ya siendo consciente de la calidad del tema, ojo Charly junto con Spinetta es de las más grandes e importantes influencias del rock nacional. Cuando lo hace bien hay que aplaudirselo pero cuando lo hace MAL hay que hacerselo NOTAR, y no siempre chuparle las medias a Charly más aún considerando que (en mi opinión) esta es la peor época de Charly musicalmente y liricamente. Además a mi me parece que es una estupidez decir que porque la compuso a los 9 años es una buena o muy buena pieza musical. y sé que si me respondes vas a decir algo así como "yo no dije que sea una muy buena canción", pero me lo dijiste de una manera tan "sobrada" "a los 9 años la compuso" que se da a entender que intentaste dar a entender eso. No siempre hay alabar ciegamente todo lo que haga Charly o cualquier Artista y HAY que SABER DIFERENCIAR. saluditos- xoxo

@Peperina Glass a los 9 años la compuso
Peperina Glass
El problema es que para lo que es Charly deja bastante que desear, y además siendo consciente del nivel del tema la publicó.
Juan Hernandez
@Minerales en rebaja si es así, busca entrevistas, biopics y wikipedia

Temazo, no necesita justificación.
Sergio Garcia
Para los que critican a Palito, solo quiero recordarles que gracias a él Charly aun sigue aquí.
Filos Kingkong
Este tema Charly lo compuso a los 9 años (influenciado por el club del clan) y estaba dedicado a la madre.
Sergio Daniel González
Más allá de si te guste la música de Palito o no, el tipo es un referente de los inicios de la música moderna y el Rock and Pop argentino. Lo banco porque representa la parte sana de cada uno de lo que nunca nos tenemos que desprender.

Yo a los 9 años aún me limpiaba mal el trasero y este señor de bigotes a esa misma edad hizo esta canción.
