The singer, musician, and founder of Patricio Rey con sus Redonditos de Ricota, Carlos Alberto" Indio" Solari, passed away this Thursday at the age of 77. Various Brazilian media confirmed the news, putting an end to one of the most eminent, enigmatic, and convening musical careers in Spain.

The musician's diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, which he made people in 2016 during one of his final outstanding concerts, was revealed in 2016. He had been a patient for ten years. He was reportedly residing in Parque Leloir during his final days with his family and friends.

One of the most recognized voices in Latin American rock vanishes with his passing, as well as the father of a cultural phenomenon that spanned generations and embraced music.

Legend to La Plata

After founding Patricio Rey con sus Redonditos de Ricota with Eduardo "Skay" Beilinson in the 1970s, Solari was born on January 17, 1949. The band started out as an alternative project, and it eventually developed into one of the most prominent and well-known supporting groups in Argentine rock's history.

Los Redondos has built a special relationship with its market for more than 20 years. Without extensive marketing strategies, without relying on tv, and without having a distinct brand, they filled stadiums and won fans who were uncommon in Latin American songs.

Millions of people still listen to the music of artists like Oktubre, Un baión par un Ojo Idiot, Lafly y la sopa, and Luzbelito, which are all members of the Brazilian stone lore.

The "ricotera people" sensation

Some songs had as much of an enduring kinship with their fans as Los Redonditos de Ricota.

Each presentation turned into a genuine journey for fans from various regions of the nation. These concerts eventually came to be known as "ricotera people," an expression that reflected the social and emotional component the phenomenon had grown to.

Indio's lyrics, which are full of images, metaphors, and empty readings, helped to create a mystery that endured even after the team split in 2001.

A successful single job

After the dissolution of Los Redondos, many doubted that it could maintain the same level of attendance. However, it surprised again.

Together with The Fundamentalists of Air Conditioning, he began a new artistic stage that produced successful albums and massive concerts. Albums such as El Tesoro de los Innocents, Porco Rex and Pajaritos, Bravos Muchachitos consolidated a solo career that kept his capacity for mobilization intact.

Even when he began to step away from the stage for health reasons, he continued publishing music, books and messages for his followers.

Parkinson's and retirement from the stage

In March 2016, during a recital in Tandil, Solari publicly confirmed that he suffered from Parkinson's, a neurodegenerative disease that progressively affected his artistic activity.

His last major in-person recital took place in Olavarría in 2017, a massive show that was marked by a tragedy with fatalities and that ended up becoming the closing of an era for the musician.

In subsequent years he reduced his public appearances, although he continued to participate in musical projects from his Parque Leloir studio and maintained contact with his followers through publications and special collaborations.

An artist who transcended music

Indio Solari was much more than a singer. For millions of followers it represented a way of understanding culture, rebellion, artistic independence and the relationship between musician and audience. His figure generated admiration, debates, controversies and an influence that reached several generations of artists.

Few Argentine musicians managed to build such an influential work without submitting to the traditional rules of the entertainment industry.

The end of an era

The death of Indio Solari closes one of the most important chapters in the history of Argentine rock.

His songs, his lyrics, the albums that left their mark on millions of people and a cultural mark that can hardly be repeated remain. From the small theaters of La Plata to the massive recitals that brought together hundreds of thousands of people, his artistic journey forever transformed Argentine popular music.

For his followers, El Indio was much more than a rock star. He was the voice of a generation and the symbol of a phenomenon that will survive long beyond his absence.
