Carlos Alberto "Nito" Mestre is a revered Argentinian musician and singer-songwriter, best known for being one half of the iconic rock duo Sui Generis, alongside Charly García. Born on August 3, 1952, in Buenos Aires, Mestre's contributions to the Latin American rock scene have been significant. Sui Generis, formed in the early 1970s, became a foundational act in the Argentinian rock (rock nacional) movement, penning classics that resonated with the youth during a time of social and political upheaval.

Following the disbandment of Sui Generis in 1975, Nito Mestre continued his musical journey as a solo artist, developing a distinctive style that often harkens back to his folk-rock roots. His career has been marked by a willingness to explore and reinvent, a trait evident in his varied discography. In recent years, he has paid homage to his legacy with Sui Generis through remastered live performances, such as "En vivo en Uruguay," and projects like "Recordando Sui Géneris: Colección Ensamble MusicActual," featuring chamber versions of classic tracks. With releases like "Flores en Nashville" and "Trip de Agosto," Mestre continued to showcase his prowess as a singer-songwriter, while "Canta A Sui Generis" is a testament to the enduring appeal of his early work. His musical evolution remains a testament to his lasting impact on the tapestry of Latin American music.
