Seru Giran

Yo no quiero volverme tan loco is the third and last live album of Serú Girán recorded in December 1981 and released in 2000. It was recorded at the Teatro Coliseo in Buenos Aires.

This is, according to most, the best album by Seru Giran. While I consider the bands first three albums all to be masterpieces, I think its here that the band managed to really coalesce into a single unit. The first album, was mostly led by maestro Charly García and has a more classical music feel to it. The second album saw the band consolidate itself but producing more mainstream rock oriented tracks. On the other hand, Bicicleta saw the band producing a rather proggy album with amazing things to hear. This is mainly evidenced by the whole array of genres that find their way here: rock&roll, jazz, tango, new wave…..

Serú Girán is a progressive rock band starring Argentine Rock star Charly García, guitar player David Lebón, the young multi-instrumentalist Pedro Aznar, and the late drummer Oscar Moro. In the late '70s after Charly's symphonic rock project "La Máquina de Hacer Pajaros," which was a commercial failure, came to an end, Charly García moved to Brazil to start a new project and met guitar player and singer David Lebón. He decided to go back to Buenos Aires in search of musicians and "Serú Girán" was born and their eponymous debut was recorded in 1978.

Initially panned by both the public and the press, Serú girán gradually won the Argentine people and became a historic album and the beginning of Serú Girán, the Argentine Beatles!….

Serú '92 is the fifth and last studio album by the Argentine musical group Serú Girán released in 1992. It was a commercial success, with sales that exceeded 200,000 copies and massive concerts in Córdoba and Rosario, and two in Buenos Aires. (it was decided to add a second concert at the end of the first concert), the latter before more than 160 thousand people, which were released on two new LPs. The second concert was also televised live on Channel 13.

We see here a second classic (overall, it is a third great one from the band, I only contest, a bit, the value of the debut) by Serú Girán and the leading idol Charly García.

Excellent addition to any rock music collection.
Serú Girán released a "safe" album full of pretty ballads, almost abandoning their progressive tendencies of their past. It's a shame, but it's still a good album, just not very adventurous and having a disproportionate amount of soft songs.

Pedro Aznar is a best-selling Argentine singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is a musical polymath equally versed in rock, jazz, and folk, and is also a published poet. A seminal part of the Argentinian rock scene during the 1970s and '80s, he gradually succeeded in transforming his sound to embrace different genres and became a successful jazz singer, saxophonist, and second guitarist in the Pat Metheny Group for three albums. In addition, Aznar is also an esteemed soundtrack composer, a first choice for many directors across Latin America…

Charly García (born Carlos Alberto García, 23 October 1951) is an Argentine singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. With a vast and renowned career, he formed and headlined two of the most popular bands in Argentina's rock history: Sui Generis in the 1970s and Serú Girán in the 1980s, plus cult status groups like progressive-rock act La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros and folk rock supergroup PorSuiGieco, both also in the 1970s. Since the 1980s García has worked mostly as a solo musician. His main instrument is the piano, followed by guitar and keyboards.

García is widely considered by critics as one of the most influential rock artists in South America, and (together with Luis Alberto Spinetta) as "The Father of Argentine Rock".
