It is considered one of the best in the history of rock en español, both musically and conceptually, including the staging [2] Serú Girán was born after the separation of the band La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros which Charly García had organized in his early post-Sui Generis.
Its first album, Serú Girán (released in 1978), did not have a good reception even though some of its songs (notably "Seminare" and "Eiti Leda") would become public anthems.
[citation needed] The official presentation of the debut album Serú Girán was held in Estadio Obras Sanitarias on November 3, 1978[8] with an orchestra of 24 musicians (string section and wind) and closed circuit television.
[citation needed] The beginning of the recital, with the full orchestra playing the powerful intro of the song "Serú Girán", presaged an unforgettable night.
Amid a chorus of whistles, the crowd asked the musicians to play "Blues del levante", a song written by García at the end of his Sui Generis tenure.
As such, the title of the album was a criticism of Argentine society at the time[10] (which was living under a military dictatorship following the 1976 coup) specially critical of what it was considered then "commercial" music (as opposed to the more elaborate lyrics and musicianship supposedly present in genres such as prog-rock) with disco music being parodied in the self-titled first track, the cover of the album itself being a spoof of popular Gente magazine.
[15] The official release of La Grasa de las Capitales was held at a number of venues in September and October 1979 including the Buenos Aires Auditorium (Ex - Kraft).
[18] To avoid censorship, "Canción de Alicia en el país" painted Argentina's reality using metaphors inspired on the book Alice in Wonderland.
[20][21][22][23] Bicicleta which was also the initial name proposed by Charly for the band but was rejected by the rest of the group[24] was officially launched at the Estadio Obras Sanitarias stadium on June 6 and 7, 1980.
[27] In general, the Argentine musicians going to the festival were related mostly to jazz or tango sounds, while Serú proposed a progressive rock act.
That year the concert had two parts: Serú Girán, American guitarist Pat Metheny and George Duke performed in the first half.
[citation needed] Later this year, arguments between García, Lebón and Moro (in particular the first two) on how to replace Aznar and the group's future led the band to dissolve.
[citation needed] In late March and early April 2007, Pedro Aznar and David Lebón played a series of concerts together in the ND Ateneo theater.
On July 26, 2007, a year after the passing of Moro, a tribute concert was organized in his honor, in which Charly García and Pedro Aznar played "Desarma y sangra" ("Disarm and bleed"), "Encuentro con el Diablo", "Mientras miro las nuevas olas" and "Esperando nacer".
