Yendo de la cama al living

When Charly García launched his solo career in 1982, the air in Argentina was charged. It was the last year of a dictatorship that had deeply marked the country, and the recent end of the Falklands War added another layer of tension. Amidst all this, at the ION and Panda Studios in Buenos Aires, Charly recorded what would be his first solo album, Yendo de la cama al living. The material was completed with the mixing by Amílcar Gilabert at ION. This work was conceived at a time when music was a refuge and a powerful form of expression, and that is felt in every note.

About the album

Yendo de la cama al living, according to DoReSol

For this album, Charly called upon heavyweight musicians. Luis Alberto Spinetta and Pedro Aznar joined, the latter already being Charly's bandmate in Serú Girán. Nito Mestre also appeared, with whom Charly had formed the memorable duo Sui Generis. Curiously, León Gieco also participated, though credited under the name "Ricardo Gómez" due to record label contract issues. The release of Yendo de la cama al living coincided with Pubis angelical, and the presentation was an impactful event: a concert for 25,000 people at the Ferrocarril Oeste stadium. The staging was memorable, with Charly arriving in a pink Cadillac and an epic finale where a prop city was destroyed at the end of "No bombardeen Buenos Aires", with the participation of guests like Mercedes Sosa.

The impact of Yendo de la cama al living was immediate, reaching the top spot on the charts in Argentina and other countries in Latin America. The 1991 reissue by EMI Odeón, along with Pubis angelical, kept this material alive. Rolling Stone magazine recognized it by including it at number 26 on its list of the best Argentine rock albums. The album's visual aesthetic was also carefully considered, with the cover photography by José Luis Perotta and graphic design by Claudio Clota Ponieman. Among the songs that define this work, "Superhéroes" stands out, with its characteristic energy, and "No bombardeen Buenos Aires", which strongly resonated with the social and political context of the time.
