Buenos Aires, December 13 (NA) – The Argentine entertainment world mourns the loss of Ernesto Raúl Acher Abulafia, one of the pioneers of Les Luthiers. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), born in Buenos Aires on October 9, 1939, Acher developed an early passion for music, training in piano and clarinet and exploring jazz since his adolescence. Initially, he replaced Marcos Mundstock in reading texts, but upon his return, he solidified himself as a full member and composer. Within the group that revolutionized musical humor, Acher was fundamental. He stood out for his: Instrumental Skill: He was the group's principal wind instrumentalist, in addition to his talent as a pianist. Compositions: Among his most famous works are "The Cantata of adelantado Don Rodrigo Díaz de Carreras" and "The Chicken said Eureka." Characters: He brought iconic figures to life, such as "Jester Copoletto," "Captain of the ship," and "Carlitos II." Acher said goodbye to Les Luthiers on September 27, 1986, after 15 years in the group, with his last show being the performance "Sweet Home." Creator of La Banda Elástica Two years after his departure, Acher created the musical group La Banda Elástica. This jazz formation was characterized by a bold fusion of genres, including folklore, tango, and rock, always maintaining a humorous tone. With this project, Acher premiered four shows and recorded three albums, extending his musical and comedic influence beyond the group that made him famous. Despite graduating as an architect from UBA in 1965 (where he was also a teacher), his calling led him to the stage. His entry into Les Luthiers was finalized in April 1971.
