Serú Girán
Serú Girán was the supergroup that united Charly García, David Lebón, Pedro Aznar, and Oscar Moro at the end of the 1970s. With sophisticated arrangements and lyrics that slipped criticism past the dictatorship's censors, they became the most popular Argentine rock band of their moment. Their run from 1978 to 1982 coincided exactly with rock nacional's rise toward a true mass audience.
