Toma dos blues

When you dive into Toma dos blues, you encounter a piece that captures the essence of an era. The music, born from the mind of Charly García, has that quality that invites you to feel it from within. It's not just a song, it's a reflection of a moment, and its duration, 3 minutes and 33 seconds, is just the right amount of time to let yourself go.

This track is part of Sui Generis's first album, titled Vida, which was released in 1972. It was a key release for the group and for Charly García, marking the beginning of a popularity that transcended expectations. The album, in general, is considered a turning point in Argentine rock, and Toma dos blues is one of those songs that became etched in collective memory, resonating to this day. The band, which was formed at the Instituto Social Militar Dr. Dámaso Centeno, had influences ranging from Swinging London to the regulars at La Cueva, although they soon evolved into an acoustic duo format. It was during a tour of Mar del Plata that Jorge Álvarez signed them for the Talent Micr label.
