Progressive rock band from Buenos Aires, Argentina formed in 1977 by Charly García, guitarist David Lebón, bassist Pedro Aznar, and drummer Oscar Moro. Widely regarded as the most talented group of rock musicians Argentina produced in the late 70's and early 80's, to the point they were dubbed "The Argentinean Beatles" by fans and critics alike.

After leaving La Máquina De Hacer Pájaros, García moved to Brazil to start his new project. In 1978, "Serú Girán" was released after recording sessions in São Paulo and Los Angeles, U.S., having Daniel Goldberg in charge of its orchestral arrangements.

That album was presented first to music journalists and later at Buenos Aires' Luna Park. The press was pleased, but music fans weren't prepared for the experimental style played by the band.

That mixed response drove Serú Girán to release a less complicated album in 1979 called "La Grasa De Las Capitales", presented live at the Buenos Aires' Auditorium. "Bicicleta" came in 1980, followed by a show at the Monterrey Jazz Festival in Rio de Janeiro.

"Peperina" was released in 1981. The band decided to break up after two shows at Obras Sanitarias in March 1982.

Serú Girán came back with "Serú" in 1992 and later with"Yo No Quiero Volverme Tan Loco" in the year 2000.

Oscar Moro died in Buenos Aires on July 11th, 2006. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
