History
Los Abuelos de la Nada is a band from Buenos Aires, Argentina formed orginally in 1967 by Miguel Abuelo but disbanded in 1969. After a long journey through Europe, Miguel Abuelo returns to Argentina and reforms the band in 1981. The new band had Abuelo as lead singer, Cachorro López on bass, Andrés Calamaro on vocals and keyboards, Gustavo Bazterrica on guitar, Daniel Melingo on sax, and Polo Corbella on the drums.
Charly García took the band under his wing after dissolving Serú Girán, and the Abuelos played in García's 1982 Christmas concert. García also drafted López, Melingo and Calamaro for his band, in parallel with their work for the Abuelos. The 1983 debut album included many compositions by Abuelo-López, and a reggae hit by Calamaro's former partner Gringui Herrera, Tristezas de la ciudad (City blues).
