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)....
Curitas
Charly Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo te extraño
Me extraño a mí
Estoy solo, estoy solo
No estás aquí
La chica que esperaba era infinita
Como el bajo que perdí
Pegaba las canciones con curitas
Hay algo que sangra porque
Yo te extraño, yo te extraño
Estoy solo, estoy solo
Ya no soy mí
Y si ya no hay más noches estrelladas
Ni lugares dónde ir
La música está ya muy separada
Nadie va a grabar
Nadie va a grabarme a mí
Hay veces que no puedo dormir
Hay veces que no quiero
Hay veces que me gustaría verte aquí
Todo el mundo tiene penas
Pero yo ya extraño hasta tus problemas
Quiero eco, vuelve a mí, porque
Yo te extraño
La chica que esperaba era infinita
Como el bajo que perdí
Pegaba las canciones con curitas
Hay algo que sangra
Hay algo que sangra por mí
Hay noches que no puedo dormir
Hay noches que no puedo dormir
Hay noches que no puedo dormir
Sin curitas
In Charly García's song Curitas, the singer expresses his longing for someone who is no longer with him. He starts by saying "I miss you, I miss you, I miss myself," indicating that the absence of this person has left him feeling lonely and lost. The girl he was waiting for was infinite, just like the bass he lost, and sometimes he feels like he can hear her in the songs he plays. He used to "patch the songs up with band-aids," which is a metaphor for his efforts to cope with his feelings through music. However, he acknowledges that something is still bleeding, and he can't heal it without the girl he misses.
He then reflects on the state of the world around him, saying that there are no more starry nights or places to go. The music has become too fragmented, and no one is willing to record him anymore. He admits that he struggles with insomnia and is haunted by the thought of the girl he misses. He wishes he could have her back, even if it means dealing with her problems. He wants to hear the echo of her voice, to feel like she is still with him.
The song's lyrics reflect the pain of losing someone and the longing for them to return. The metaphor of patching up the songs with band-aids suggests that music can be a source of comfort and healing but cannot fully substitute for human connection. The singer's insomnia and his inability to sleep without band-aids indicate that he cannot move on from his pain without the person he misses.

Es tremendo. Una obra de Arte de verdad . Todos se destacan . Cada uno tiene su momento para aportar . Charly marca una diferencia . Por eso es único
Ricardo Reinoso
Un ritmo complejo, una música extraordinaria del mejor músico del rock nacional
Julián Bohórquez Carvajal
Vengo de leer al Zorrito von Quintiero, contando cómo Charly tocó la mayoría de los isntrumentos en el álbum: tocaba las notas en el mástil del bajo, mientras las cuerdas las tocaban con las baquetas de la batería, para dar ese efecto particular! Eso y Lola Torres en las castañuelas. Que genio! SNM
Magui Goncalez
Todos maravillosos y Lolita sobrenatural su arte en castañuelas
Maria De Peray
No tengo palabras para esta maravilla de canción... solamente que hubo una época en que creí que era mi preferida de la extensa obra de Charly...y, cuando la escucho, vuelvo a pensar eso ..pero, es que luego me enamoro por un tiempo de otra ... Así es su obra, un laberinto del cual es imposible escapar 😜🥰💞"la entrada es gratis..."
Juan pablo Martinez
Y la salida no existe
Carlos Toloza
Charly es el único artista que es imposible armar un top de canciones porque casi todas las mejores perfectamente en el top 1. Es un extraterrestre en serio. Ningún artista argentino se le compara, salvo Borges o Gardel
Marcos Rodrigo
Para mi, la mejor canción de la historia del rock argentino. Es una maravilla, un tango/Chopin/Piazzolla/Avenida Santa Fe única mano al bajo, de noche, en taxi.
