Charly García was the eldest son in an upper-middle class family. His father taught mathematics and physics in elementary school, while his mother produced radio music shows, mainly shows featuring folkloric music.
Charly began to show musical talent at an early age. At three, he received a toy piano as a gift, and soon he surprised his mother with his ability to compose and play coherent melodies, leading her to enlist him in a prestigious conservatory, the Thibaud Piazzini. At age twelve, he received the title of Music Professor. Charly developed perfect pitch as a child.
The beginning: Sui Generis
The Beatles appeared in Charly’s life when he was thirteen. Having previously only been exposed to classical music and folk, he would describe the Beatles as “classical music from Mars”. In high school he met Carlos Alberto “Nito” Mestre and the two fused their bands to give birth to Sui Generis.
The band at first experimented with psychedelic rock, but its style would quickly establish as folk-rock with some little influence from the symphonic rock of the day. At their first big gig, the band’s bassist, guitarist and drummer all failed to appear. Only Charlie (García spelled his name with “ie” back then) and Nito Mestre showed up, playing piano and flute respectively.
