show mystique followed by his powerful guitar player Skay Beilinson.
• The band began played at various bars and clubs in La Plata, where Solari and Beilinson
were natives. Skay had played for other bands as La Cofradía de la For Solar, where he
met with the artist and illustrator Ricardo "Rocambole" Cohen. By the late 1970s, the
band supported their first tour through the Argentine, mainly in the countries of
northwest.

shows with more than 45,000 fans, were
guarded by the police and a crew of
firefighters at the stadium, where an audience
member threw a flare to the stage causing
minor damages and the anger of Solari.

5. • One of the band's most important
achievements was to reunite more than
140,000 fans at River Plate Stadium, Buenos
Aires, in April 2000, proving the band's
popularity, and like the Racing Stadium
concerts, was heavily guarded by the police
and stadium authorities. At the April 15 show,
Jorge Ríos, a thief who was in the audience
began to attack several people with a knife,
and then he was lynched by the people.

pursuing solo careers and new projects. Skay published his first
album: A través del Mar de los Sargazos in 2002.
