Argentina Mourns: Actor Juan Carlos Velázquez Passes Away

The Argentine entertainment world is in mourning following the recent death of actor Juan Carlos Velázquez, better known as 'El Mini' from 'Duro de Domar', at the age of 64. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the comedian was at an event with host Teto Medina when he fell ill. He went to a medical facility on his own, where he sadly passed away. After his death was confirmed, social media users found his last appearance on screen, reviving the moment before his departure. This was a brief appearance on the show 'Bendito' on January 27th, where he imitated the folk singer El Chaqueño Palavecino. The singer was at the center of a controversy for his performance at the Jesús María Festival, where he sang 'Amor Salvaje' alongside President Javier Milei. Juan Carlos burst onto the set dressed as the musician and, parodying him, denied knowing the Federal Association of Criollo Roots from which the singer had been expelled.
