Autos, jets, aviones, barcos

The piece Autos, jets, aviones, barcos, born from the pen of Charly García, emerges as one of the most detailed sonic explorations of the self-titled debut album by Serú Girán. With a duration of 4 minutes and 13 seconds, this composition is distinguished by its complexity, a trait that marked the identity of the Argentine supergroup. The sound of Serú Girán, in this work, delves into territories that fuse progressive rock with jazz, incorporating unusual textures for the time, such as the use of synthesizers and orchestral arrangements, moving away from the conventional and seeking its own language.

This album, released in 1978 under the Sazam label and with the production of Billy Bond, was recorded between the United States and Brazil. Beyond Autos, jets, aviones, barcos, other songs like Serú Girán, Seminare, and Eiti Leda became pillars of rock in Argentina. Serú Girán's proposal on their debut represented a break, a turning point that opened paths for experimentation in the genre, and its influence has been felt in subsequent generations of musicians.
