Indio Solari died at 77 in Parque Leloir home
indio solari died on June 5 at his home in Parque Leloir, in the municipality of Ituzaingó. He was 77. For Argentine rock, the death closes the story of a singer whose name was tied to Los Redondos, his last live recital in 2017, and a public retreat shaped by Parkinson’s disease.
Los Redondos in La Plata
In 1975, Solari and Skay Beilinson founded Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota in La Plata. The group later released nine studio albums before dissolving in 2001, a run that made Solari one of the defining voices in the country’s rock canon. He kept the project’s afterlife alive through a solo catalog that began in 2004.
That solo stretch included El tesoro de los inocentes (Bingo Fuel) in 2004 under the name LFDAA, Porco Rex in 2007, El perfume de la tempestad in 2010, and Pajaritos, bravos muchachitos in 2013. His last studio album, El ruiseñor, el amor y la muerte, arrived in 2018, after the band era had already ended and his public output had narrowed to fewer appearances and more controlled releases.
Tandil and Olavarría
In March 2016, at a recital in Tandil, he said, “el Parkinson me anda pisando los talones.” The line now reads as a turning point in the public record around his health. By 2023, he had already said he was definitively retiring from live performances because the disease had progressed.
His last live recital took place in Olavarría in 2017, and in 2020 he appeared again only through a virtual concert using holographic techniques. That sequence left a clear boundary around the end of his stage work: one final concert, one digital appearance, then retirement.
Autopsy in Ituzaingó
An autopsy will be performed by protocol to establish the cause of death. That procedure now sits beside the main fact readers care about: the death of a figure whose influence extended beyond music into Argentine counterculture, while his own public profile remained famously guarded.
For listeners, the practical reality is simple. Solari’s recorded legacy now stands as the final archive: the nine Redondos albums, the solo records from 2004 through 2018, and the last live chapter that ended in 2017. That is the body of work that will define how he is heard now.
