"Carlos Alberto Solari, better known as Indio Solari, died this Friday at the age of 77 at his home in Parque Leloir, where he had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for years, which had kept him away from the stage. The news caused a strong shock in the artistic community and among millions of followers in Argentina, where he is considered one of the most influential figures in Spanish rock. After his death, the Prosecutor's Office No. 2 of Ituzaingó intervened in the case, and a significant police and judicial operation was deployed at the musician's residence to carry out forensic work and officially determine the causes of death. In the vicinity of his home, hundreds of fans expressed grief and recognition for his musical legacy. "For me, Indio is the Maradona of music. He is God to me too," said Mara Figueroa, a follower of Carlos Alberto Solari. Another of his followers highlighted the cultural impact the musician leaves behind after his passing. "The body is gone, he (Carlos Alberto Solari) will continue to be a legend for us," expressed Anyi Fernandez. Throughout his career, Indio Solari established himself as one of the most influential voices in Spanish rock, with an artistic aesthetic that combined music, urban poetry, and a strong countercultural identity. He was the founder and vocalist of the band Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, one of the most emblematic groups of Argentine national rock, known for its mass appeal, countercultural aesthetic, and massive concerts. After the group's breakup in 2001, the musician continued his career with Los Fundamentalistas del Aire Acondicionado, with whom he held massive performances that gathered tens of thousands of people, even without frequent appearances in the media. In 2016, Solari publicly confirmed that he had Parkinson's disease, which over time led him to progressively reduce his public and musical activity until his definitive retirement from the stage."
