A Legendary Resurrection in Buenos Aires

Serú Girán, often referred to as the 'Argentine Beatles' for their massive cultural impact, returned to the stage thanks to two of its founding members: David Lebón and Pedro Aznar. The Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires witnessed a night where the past and present merged, creating a profound musical experience that went beyond a typical nostalgia act.

While the iconic Charly García was absent due to health struggles, and the late Oscar Moro (drummer) was honored in spirit, the essence of the band filled the venue. For international fans, it's important to note that Serú Girán is a pillar of Latin American rock, known for their complex musical arrangements and deep lyrics.

The Concert: Stadium-Scale Chamber Music

The show was not just a playback of hits. Lebón and Aznar curated a concert where music, lights, and visuals complemented each other perfectly. The accompanying band—featuring Federico Arreysegor, Fernando Cosenza, Matías Sabagh, and Fermín Ferraris—provided an impeccable sound.

Pedro Aznar led the way with his precise bass and dramatic vocals, particularly shining in "Canción de Alicia en el país" (Song of Alice in the Country). At 74 years old, David Lebón displayed a sharp guitar prowess and an enduring spirit that captivated the audience.

Setlist Highlights

The repertoire spanned the entire career of Serú Girán:

  • "La grasa de las capitales" (The grease of the capitals) merged with "Frecuencia modulada".
  • "Canción de Alicia en el país" — a fan favorite with slight lyrical updates.
  • "Perro andaluz" (Andalusian Dog).
  • "Cinema verité" and "Desarma y sangra" (Disarm and bleed).
  • "Seminare" — the inevitable closing encore.

Lebón's compositions brought good vibes; Aznar's brought reflection; and García's songs acted as a sonic anchor. Together, they formed a seamless musical narrative.

"Doing this work with Pedro was beautiful. I went through a lot, but I never imagined that at 74 I would be filling stadiums."

— David Lebón

A Family Affair: Honoring Oscar Moro

One of the most touching moments occurred when Juan Moro, son of the late drummer Oscar Moro (who passed away in 2006), took the drums for the final songs. It was a gesture of generational continuity that moved the entire stadium.

The finale featured massive hits like "Esperando nacer" (Waiting to be born), "No llores por mi Argentina" (Don't cry for me Argentina - distinct from the famous musical song), and "Peperina", creating a harmonic closing to a historic night.

Context: The Legacy of Serú Girán

Serú Girán was founded in 1978 by Charly García, David Lebón, Oscar Moro, and Pedro Aznar. They revolutionized Argentine rock with their musical complexity and social commentary. After disbanding in 1982, they reunited briefly in 1992. This current project by Lebón and Aznar rescues the band's legacy without attempting to replace the irreplaceable García, respecting his current health condition.
