Indio Solari
Argentine musician (1949-2026)

Carlos Alberto Solari (17 January 1949, 5 June 2026), known as Indio Solari, was an Argentine musician and singer. Solari was the leader of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota between 1976 and 2001. He, Semilla Bucciarelli and Skay Beilinson were the only constant members of the group.
01Life and career
In the 1970s, Solari met his friend Guillermo Beilinson (Skay's elder brother) in a small fabric printing workshop in Valeria del Mar, called "El Mercurio". By then, Solari was already listed in his city as an enigmatic character by his harsh discourse and unconventional behavior.
In 1976, Solari started a project with Beilinson brothers and various musicians, which would be the beginning of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, and he remained as singer until the band eventually split in 2001.
After the separation of Los Redondos, Solari started his first solo project in 2004: El Tesoro de los Inocentes (Bingo Fuel), together with his band Los Fundamentalistas del Aire Acondicionado, which was later presented in Argentina and Uruguay. In December 2007, The Fundamentalistas second album was released: Porco Rex, which was much less complex and very poetic. In the prologue he says: “Loneliness is the playing yard of Porco Rex”.
In 2010, Solari and his band released El Perfume de la Tempestad, edited on CD and vinyl.
In late 2013, Solari and Los Fundamentalistas released their fourth studio album: Pajaritos, bravos muchachitos, which includes a song recorded with his old bandmates Semilla Bucciarelli, Walter Sidotti and Sergio Dawi.
Indio Solari's recital in Olavarría, in 2017 occurred on March 11, 2017 at the La Colmena rural property. This was the largest open-air rock concert in the history of Argentine rock. Over 250,000 fans attended the concert by Solari and his band.
02Death
Solari died in Parque Leloir, Ituzaingó Partido, Buenos Aires, on 5 June 2026, ten years after his Parkinson's disease diagnosis. He was 77. The Public Prosecutors' Office in Morón stated that Solari was found by the side of an indoor pool of his home, apparently after suffering a fall.
