In La Plata, Argentina, the first night of Los Fundamentalistas del Aire Acondicionado's concert at the Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona brought together thousands of fans and offered one of the most moving moments of the year. While the band was going through much of its repertoire, the stadium fell silent when the musician appeared on the giant screens. With his unmistakable tone and visible emotion, the Indio spoke directly to the 'ricoteros' who had sold out the tickets once again. 'You accompanied me during that time until Providence wanted to cross me with a couple of things that prevent me... you know what I'm talking about,' he said, referring to the Parkinson's disease that kept him off the stages. 'I didn't want to let this moment pass to pretend I'm with you. I love you very much, I respect you a lot as an audience.' 'You are among the best on the planet,' he stated. This brief but forceful message sparked a unanimous applause that ran through the entire stadium and was replicated on social networks, where images quickly went viral: 'It's not the same without you,' 'You made us feel,' 'You are unique.' Although Indio Solari has not performed live for years, he maintains a strong bond with his audience and does not shy away from talking about his present. With Los Fundamentalistas upholding the 'ricotero' ritual live and a community that does not let go, the Indio's appearance once again confirmed that his legacy goes far beyond the stage.
