LA MAQUINA DE HACER PAJAROS was the band created by Charly García after dissolution of SUI GENERIS. It was a project which leave the folk genre of SUI GENERIS to achieve the symphonic rock. In the short life of this band, two LP's were recorded: "La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros" (1976) and "Películas" (1977). Inspired on the "elaborated" rock of STEELY DAN and the GENESIS "symphonism", Charly García formed the best of the Argentine bands in the progressive genre. «We are the YES of Third World», synthesizes García. But for that time, none of the LP's was successful, being recognized after. LA MAQUINA was the most deep and complex intent of the symphonic rock in Argentina, and García introduced in it the new of two simultaneous keyboardists (himself and Cutaia). Maybe this new style was the most significant barrier between the band and the people, habitued to most simple SUI GENERIS. LA MAQUINA DE HACER PAJAROS dissolved by internal trouble, nearest 1977. El Festival del Amor was the last show of LA MAQUINA, at a full Luna Park, in november 11, 1977, where they played together with Nito Mestre, León Gieco, Raúl Porchetto, Gustavo Santaolalla, Markoff brothers, and other. Between the musicians that formed part of the band in the show were David Lebón, the SUI GENERIS acoustic basement (Rinaldo Rafanelli - Juan Rodríguez), and the CRUCIS musicians Aníbal Kerpel and Pino Marrone. The highlight of the show was the beautiful version of Violeta Parra's "Volver a los diecisiete", which wasn't succesful between the audience, not habitued to South American folk music.Charly García, after failed attempts to create la BANDA DEL AMOR (with David Lebón and other musicians), convinces David Lebón to go to Brasil and create the project of his new band, SERÚ GIRÁN.
