5 stars Let's start with the Argentinian progressive rock history with THE band, I don't know if it's the only supergroup, but it's THE supergroup or Argentina.

Serú Girán, formed by Charly García on keyboards, David Lebón on guitars, Oscar Moro on drums and Pedro Aznar on bass; has been one of the most important bands in Argentinian rock history.

Its debut in 1978 was very original at that time as there wasn't a big prog scene, excepting previous bands of García (like La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, with Moro on drums) or Spinetta (Almedra, Pescado Rabioso w/ Lebón on guitars...) among others.

Combining the excellence of their 4 members they created this unique sound, mixing classic progressive rock ("Eiti Leda") with jazz fusion influences ("Autos, Jets, Aviones, Barcos"), classic rock and blues ("Voy a mil"), orchestral arrangements (like "Serú Girán"), beautiful melancholic songs ("El mendigo en el andén", "Separata" or their anthem "Seminare").

A must in Argentina rock history, and in prog history in general!
