Early years
Carlos Alberto García was born on 23 October 1951, in Buenos Aires. He was the firstborn of Carmen Moreno and Carlos Jaime García Lange. García was followed by siblings Enrique, Daniel and Josi. His father owned one of the first Formica factories in Argentina, while his mother took care of the children, assisted by professional nannies. Every child slept in a separate bedroom.

As a child, García became interested in dinosaurs, planets and Greek mythology. When he was two years old, he learned to play the zither by ear, as well as a toy piano gifted by his maternal grandmother.

PorSuiGieco (1974-1975)
In 1974, García, Raúl Porchetto, Nito Mestre, León Gieco and María Rosa Yorio formed the supergroup PorSuiGieco y su Banda de Avestruces Domadas. The band were inspired by crossover acts such as those of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, one of the musical role models for García since his early musician days.
