Born in Paraná in 1949, Solari built his career from La Plata, where, alongside guitarist Skay Beilinson and producer Carmen “Negra Poli” Castro, he led the Redonditos de Ricota
Carlos Alberto “Indio” Solari, one of the most influential figures in the history of Argentine rock and the frontman of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, died on Friday at the age of 77 at his home in Parque Leloir, in the Buenos Aires district of Ituzaingó. His death set off a wave of spontaneous tributes across the country, and his family announced that his wake will be held on Sunday.
According to the preliminary autopsy, the musician suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in the early hours of Friday, linked to the illness he had. The Ituzaingó prosecutor's office, led by Lucio Rivero, opened a routine inquiry to establish the cause of death and specified that there had been no drowning, even though the singer was in the heated indoor pool at his home, where his caregiver found him. Solari had Parkinson's disease —which he disclosed in 2016— and had withdrawn from the stage; his last public appearance was in January, through a message after receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires.
