VIDEO | 'Diego is waiting up there': AFA tribute to Indio Solari | OneFootball

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) released an emotional tribute video to bid farewell to Carlos “Indio” Solari, intertwining the mystique of his songs with the liturgy of the nation’s stadiums and the memory of great icons of our culture.

Football said goodbye to a hero of Argentine rock

The death of the former leader of Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota struck deeply within the fabric of Argentine football, whose terraces embraced his melodies as their own anthems for decades. In this context of public mourning, the governing body of local football shared an audiovisual piece filled with emotion to pay tribute to the singer, accompanied by a phrase that captures the feelings of millions of fans:

“Indio, you are not alone, because up there Diego, the Pope, and an all-star band are waiting for you” ♾

The video revisits emblematic moments in which the “Indio’s” music merges with flags, stands, and popular celebrations, alluding to the artist’s heavenly reunion with Diego Armando Maradona — of whom he was an open admirer —, Pope Francis, and so many other figures who shaped Argentine identity.
