Sui Generis
Sui Generis was an influential folk-rock band from Argentina formed by musicians Charly García and Nito Mestre. Active during the first half of the 1970s, the band's success earned it a lasting following throughout South America.
The band's repertoire, composed and arranged in most part by García, went from their earlier, simple country-style guitar tunes that incorporated small elements of classical music (taking advantage of Garcia's conservatory training) to their more developed symphonic/prog rock sound of their later releases. Their youthful songs, a staple at sing-along gatherings, became an ingrained part of Argentina's cultural landscape.
Sui Generis disbanded on September 5, 1975, following a concert which was later published on video and as a separate record. Despite sporadic concerts in 1980 and 2001, there are no hints of a permanent re-formation of the band.
