🎹🎸🇦🇷 Happy birthday to Charly García, the rebellious voice of Argentine rock who dared to speak truth to power.

In a time of state terrorism, torture, and forced disappearances, when silence was mandated, his music screamed louder. From 'Los Dinosaurios' and 'Botas Locas' to 'No Bombardeen Buenos Aires,' he turned his music into a weapon of resistance against the military dictatorship (1976-1983), giving voice to a generation living in fear.

Through Sui Generis, Serú Girán and his solo work, he crafted anthems of freedom that still resonate today. Whether in sky blue and white or sporting his iconic half-black, half-white mustache, he showed us that rock isn't just about music—it's about standing up for what's right. ¡Feliz cumpleaños to a true legend!🤘
