(CNN Spanish) – Argentine actor and comedian Marcos Mundstock, who became famous with the group Les Luthiers, passed away on Wednesday at the age of 77.
“After more than a year of dealing with a health problem that became irreversible, Marcos, our partner and friend, finally left,” the group reported on their Twitter account.
Mundstock was known as the narrator of Les Luthiers.
“We will be left with the memory of his voice, unique and unmistakable. And of his presence on stage, with his red folder and in front of the microphone, that captivated the public before saying a single word, “they add.
“We will have so many things from Marcos, that even in the midst of the sadness and pain we are experiencing, we cannot help but thank life, and feel privileged to have traveled with him all this section of the road,” the statement ends. .
The Argentine musician and actor Daniel Rabinovich, also a member of the famous group Les Luthiers, died this August in 2015 at the age of 71 due to a heart condition.
In August 2017, the Argentine Congress paid tribute to Les Luthiers with two honorable mentions.
Les Luthiers celebrated its 50th anniversary on September 3, 2017.
Its members met more than five decades ago in one of the choirs of the University of Buenos Aires. And since then they compose everything: from the parodies, the theatrical scenes, the lyrics, melodies and arrangements of the songs. His secret seems to be in combining parody with music, always on stage. Its website explains that the name comes from the French word luthier, which refers to the craftsman who makes or repairs musical instruments. “They were baptized Les Luthiers because one of the characteristics of their performances is the use of unusual instruments made by themselves.”
In 2018 Mundstock spoke to Marcelo Longobardi. See some sections of the interview here:
