Bicicleta

Bicicleta is the third studio album recorded by the Argentinian rock group Serú Girán, released in 1980. The album is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the group's finest, and subsequently went on to be ranked by the Rolling Stone as the 68th best Argentinian album of all time. The album described with delicate and admirable accuracy the Argentine social and political times under the dictatorship. "Canción de Alicia en el país" and "Encuentro con el diablo" are the songs that best described that social reality according to music historian, Sergio Pujol. To avoid censorship, "Canción de Alicia en el país" painted Argentina's reality using metaphors inspired on the book Alice in Wonderland. Charly García described the feelings of young and middle-aged adults in the songs "A los jóvenes de ayer" and "Mientras miro las nuevas olas" who were ambivalent or critical about old tango idols and emerging New Wave music respectively. Bicicleta - which was also the initial name proposed by Charly for the band but was rejected by the rest of the group - was officially launched at the Estadio Obras Sanitarias stadium on June 6 and 7, 1980.
