The family of Carlos Alberto "Indio" Solari has scheduled a public wake for Sunday, June 7, 2026 [2], to honor the singer.
Solari was a foundational figure in Argentine rock as the leader of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota. His death at age 77 [1] marks the loss of a cultural icon whose influence extended beyond music into a massive, dedicated social movement of followers.
The event will begin at 11:00 [3] at the Polideportivo José María Gatica [4]. The venue is also known as Parque Domínico or Parque Los Derechos del Trabajador, located at Av. Bartolomé Mitre 5,000 in Villa Domínico, Avellaneda [4].
Given the singer's immense popularity, the family selected a site with significant capacity. The grounds of the facility cover 10 hectares [5] — a space intended to accommodate the thousands of fans expected to pay their respects.
The family has emphasized a desire for peace during the proceedings. The wake will last as long as necessary, but the family asked that people not let their anger out, the family said [3].
This request follows the traditional intensity of Solari's fanbase, which often gathered in massive numbers for his sporadic performances. The choice of a public sports complex over a private funeral home reflects the scale of the public mourning expected for the artist [4].
“The velatorio in Domínico durará "lo que haga falta"”
The decision to hold the wake at a 10-hectare public facility underscores the unique sociological phenomenon of 'ricotero' fandom in Argentina. By choosing a large-scale venue and explicitly requesting emotional restraint, the family is attempting to manage a potential mass gathering that could otherwise overwhelm local infrastructure in Avellaneda.
