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)....
Mirando las ruedas
Charly Garcia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y me dan cantidad de
Consejos buenos para nada
Cuando digo que estoy bien
Ellos me miran sin entender
"¿Cómo podés ser feliz si no
Estás en nuestro tren?"
Y diseñan toda clase de
Warnings para deslumbrarme
Y cuando digo que estoy bien
Mirando sombras en la pared
"¿Cómo puedes ser feliz si no
Estás en nuestro tren?"
I'm just sitting here watching the
Wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
You not trying this at home
In Charly Garcia's song Mirando las ruedas, the lyrics reflect on memories and dreams that are closely tied with music, rock and roll in particular. The opening lines reference Africa and Liverpool, which are inextricably linked to music history – Africa for its influence on rhythm and blues and Liverpool for being the birthplace of the Beatles. The song then reflects on the experiences of being lost in a big city, evoking a sense of isolation and disorientation. However, the singer also finds solace in an angel of loneliness who protects and heals them.
The lyrics then return to memories of music, such as a photo of the Rolling Stones and a poster for the Dixon Lespurr music store. The singer then reflects on leaving home to pursue music, and how that decision has shaped their life. Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability and fragility, represented by the repetition of "nuestra vida es un lecho de cristal" (our life is a bed of glass). Ultimately, the song celebrates the power of music to connect and heal, as well as the courage it takes to pursue one's dreams.
Overall, Mirando las ruedas is a deeply introspective song that reflects on the role that music plays in our lives. It explores themes of isolation, vulnerability, and the pursuit of artistic expression. Through its evocative lyrics and memorable melody, the song is a testament to the power of music to inspire and heal.

Dicen que estoy loco, haga lo que haga,

feliz, sino estas en nuestro tren
dicen que soy vago, soñando por ahi
y dicen que toda clase de warnings
para deslumbrarme, yyy cuando digo
que estoy bien, mirandpo sombras en la pared
como podes ser feliz sino estas en nuestro tren
Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really like to watch them roll
No longer riding in the merry go round
Dicen que soy vago, soñando por ahi,
Y dicen toda clase de warnings, para deslumbrarme,
Y cuando digo que estoy bien mirando sombras en la pared,
Como podes ser feliz si no estas en nuestro tren
Im just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round

No longer riding in the merry go round

People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

3:04 Yendo de la cama al living (el bajo hace un pedacito de la base) 3:17 termina con el estribillo de No importa. Para completar, todo eso sobre un tema de Lennon. ¿Queda alguien que niegue que Charly es un GENIO?
