Biography

Luis Alberto Spinetta (January 23, 1950 - February 8, 2012), known as El Flaco, was an Argentine singer, guitarist, poet, writer, and composer in the rock genre. He was widely regarded as one of the most important and respected musicians in Hispanic America, praised for the complexity of his instrumental and lyrical work. Spinetta founded several influential bands including Almendra, Pescado Rabioso, Invisible, Spinetta Jade, and Spinetta y los Socios del Desierto.

Following his passing at the age of sixty-two, Spinetta's ashes were scattered in the Río de la Plata in accordance with his final wishes, near the Parque de la Memoria in Buenos Aires dedicated to the victims of the military dictatorship. In 2014, Argentina declared his birthday as the National Musician's Day in honor of his legacy.
