Background[]

Sui Generis was an electric band formed at the Instituto Social Militar Dr. Dámaso Centeno under the light of Swinging London and the followers of La Cueva. The project soon became an acoustic duo. And, during a tour of Mar del Plata, they were signed by Jorge Álvarez for the Talent label. Very soon, the founder of Mandioca managed to incorporate Sui Generis into the grid of the third BA Rock and secure his participation in Hasta que se ponga el sol. In a period dominated by explosive bands like Color Humano, or Pescado Rabioso, acoustic songs were a risky bet. The duo's first live performance was documented in the film.
