Sui Generis

Sui Generis began as two high school bands in the Caballito neighborhood, united in a place called Instituto Social Militar. They became a group of six, then four, and finally two: Charly García and Nito Mestre. Together they made songs that were heard everywhere, as if they were part of the air. Their sound mixed folk with rock, and they did it with a naturalness that would never be repeated. In the early years, they recorded three albums: Vida, Confesiones de invierno and Pequeñas anécdotas sobre las instituciones. Two of them appeared in lists of the best Argentine rock albums. They also made a live album and a movie about a farewell concert.

In 2000, they reunited and released Sinfonías para adolescentes, with songs that remained relevant. The duo split in 1975, after a country tour. Their last show was in Patagonia, after a concert at Luna Park. Although there were other musicians in the group, the name was always associated with those two. Their songs became hymns, and their way of playing music marked a before and after in Argentine rock. The story of Sui Generis is not just about their albums, but about how music sounds when made with honesty. Their lyrics spoke about everyday things, but they were heard as if they were universal truths. Today, these songs remain part of popular culture, as if they had never stopped being part of many people's lives.
