Bio:

Andr s Calamaro, born in 1961, in the port Santa Maria of the Buenos Ayres. Andr s was introduced in the world of music when he learnt to play bandoneon with only 8 years and, nine years later, already played keyboards in a group of candombe-rock called "Roots", which made its debut album. During his youth and having already had experience as a keyboardist, studied for a short time his career in law to finally devote himself to music. He tried his luck with the "Blues Colorado Band sausage" that formed with his friend Augusto "Gringui" Herrera following after with an Association following the line of The Platters, tilted slightly by the rock, to thus define itself again next Gringui in what would be his "Elmer's Band" project that Eduardo Cano (rear bassist of the Twist) is added. It was called by H ctor Zeta Bosio to belong to a local band called The Morgan which later became "Project Erekto" when I join them Gustavo Cerati and that eventually would be transformed after time in what is known as Soda Stereo, already without the presence of Calamaro, in the beginning of the Decade of the 1980s. Shortly after Miguel Angel Peralta, known as Miguel Abuelo, selected it and invited to be part of his band, in character of keyboardist. Thus was born a new version of the legendary Abuelos de la Nada.
