Argentines Sadly Receive the Death of Alberto Cortez

Argentines Sadly Receive the Death of Alberto Cortez



Buenos Aires, April 4 (Prensa Latina) He died this Thursday in Madrid, far from his homeland, but Argentina cries to one of its most beloved artists and poets, Alberto Cortez, whom they thank for ''his poems made songs''.

Death surprised him when he was about to perform a series of concerts in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico he was forced to suspend. He was active at the age of 79, doing what he was most passionate about.

With more than 40 albums back, a Grammy award for musical excellence, four books and two films, the author of Cuando un amigo se va( When a Friend Goes Away)is venerated in his homeland, where Argentines say goodbye with heartfelt words and thank him for his brilliance.

The television, radio and digital media of this southern nation dedicate ample space to the musician, creator of pieces such as Castillos en el aire (Castles in the Air) or Como el ave solitaria (Like a Lonely Bird), to name a few.
