During an interview with Gonzalo Bonadeo on his Vorterix program, "Don't Ask About Russia," Mario Pergolini came across a news item on social media that left him completely shocked.
Visibly impacted by what he had just read, he abruptly interrupted his guest to tell him: "In El Canciller they reported it, and TN confirms it too. Several media outlets are confirming that Indio Solari has died. Terrible."
"I'm shocked by the news, it's unexpected. It's incredible. How crazy... I didn't think he was so...", he expressed afterward, struggling to organize his words and with watery eyes, a reflection of the emotion that overwhelmed him at that moment.
"I'm shocked by the news, it's unexpected. It's incredible. I'm really amazed because today the program started with Los Redondos and we were looking at photos", he detailed.
Beyond his admiration for Indio Solari's work and having had the opportunity to meet him personally, Pergolini shared a detail that few had noticed until then. "Today's program started with Los Redondos... I'm amazed. We were looking at photos... it almost scares me," he noted.
As he recounted, that same day, without any particular reason, he had decided to fill the program from start to finish with songs by Indio Solari. Additionally, he had posted a photo with him on his social media, a coincidence that ended up making a strong impression on him.
In light of the impact of the news, Pergolini decided to close the broadcast as a sort of tribute to the artist. "We're going to say goodbye for today, it's too important for me and for Vorterix... for everyone, really. We say goodbye, and everything that will play right now is Redondos and music from Indio. There are no words, we know there will be a lot of people very hurt."
