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)....

En libros para cocinar
Estás mezclando el dulce con la sal.
Vas procurando informaciones
En unas cajas de metal
Estás comprando al mundo en un bazar.
Mirando superhéroes, superstars
Te sientes superloca, supermal.
Vestidas para enamorar
Viviendo cien años de soledad.
No pasa nada, nadie pasa
Sólo una banda militar
Desafinando el tiempo y el compás.
Y entonces mírame a mí
Tratando que se muevan éstos pies
Bajo la luz, tocando hasta el amanecer.
No te quedes en casa
Porque el baile va a empezar
Quiero verte, verte otra vez.
Hay un horrible monstruo con peluca
Que es dueño en parte
De esta ciudad de locos.
Hace que baila con la banda en la ruta
Pero en verdad les roba el oro
Y les da unas prostitutas.
Estás limpiando las cenizas
De nuestro breve carnaval
Ya estamos en camino a otra ciudad.
Ya ves no somos ni turistas
Ni artistas de sonrisa y frac
Formamos parte de tu realidad
Y entonces mírame a mí
Tratando que se muevan éstos pies
Bajo la luz, tocando hasta el amanecer.
No te quedes en casa
Porque el baile va a empezar
Quiero verte,
Verte otra vez.
Charly García's song Super Héroes begins by describing someone who is neither a chef nor someone who usually cooks, but is searching for cooking instructions in books. This portrays the character as trying to find their way in a situation where they are unfamiliar, which the song later reveals as being "esta ciudad de locos" (this city of crazies). The second verse zooms out to describe the scene of the city, with servants dressed to attract someone's attention and living solitary lives, and a military band playing out of sync. This verse highlights the paradox of a place where people's efforts to be seen are constantly being thwarted, alluding to the mindset that drives the search for superheroes and other characters seen on screens.
The chorus consists of Charly García urging the listener to come out and dance, suggesting that in the midst of all this chaos, music and dancing are the only relief. He then delves into a critique of a monster-like figure with a wig who is in part responsible for the city's madness. The last verse describes the aftermath of the party, with the city reduced to ashes and people getting ready to move on to another city. Charly then asks the listener to look at him and see him trying to get his feet to move, with the hope that they too will join him in dancing in the light until dawn. Overall, the song emphasizes the idea that in spite of the chaos and problems of the world, music and dance can provide a temporary escape and sense of hope.

Juan
on Los Dinosaurios
Neighborhood friends can be kidnapped at any time.
Popular singers can be kidnapped.
Famous people can be kidnapped.
The person we love deeply can be kidnapped.
People on television can be kidnapped on air.
People on the streets can be kidnapped in the street.
But the army is going to disappear.
I'm not at ease, my love.
It's Saturday night.
A friend is in jail. (It is likely to be tortured or disappear, they can link me to him, I can be next).
Oh my love.
The world is disappearing.
If troublesome people were killed, tortured and raped.
Oh, my love, I wish I had not caused trouble.
When everything is terrible
It is better not to have emotional attachments
Imagine the militaries in prison.
Juan
on Los Dinosaurios
Charly García's "los dinosaurios" is a song about Argentina's bloodiest military dictatorship. The song expresses the suffering and fear for the more than 40,000 disappeared. Anyone, for any reason, could be kidnapped. Most of them were never found.
Juan

Airborne things, such as planes or balloons, can disappear without a trace.
"those on the air" refers to people who are in the media giving "live" news.
