Colo Colo had just beaten the Spanish Union 4-0, to gain even more advantage at the top of the Chilean tournament rankings, and Gustavo Quinteros, his Argentine coach, gave a cheery press conference. However, the weather changed drastically and became gloomy with the news that one of the journalists present broadcast him live. And the DT’s reaction was more than emotional.
“You give me bad news at a time when I wasn’t expecting the truth,” Quinteros responded to the reporter who reported the bad news. Just before it was confirmed the death at the age of 62 of Horacio Eduardo Marciano Cantero, singer, bassist and leader of Los Enanitos Verdes, one of the most emblematic bands of Argentine rock. Last week he had an emergency operation and had a kidney and part of his spleen removed.
“It is a great sadness to discover in this way that a great person has died. I’ve always liked their music a lot, for a long time, and I’ve always been a fan of them. From a distance I send my condolences to the family “, added Quinteros, a fan of National Rock and in particular of the band led by Marciano Cantero.
Marciano Cantero and football
Some of the hymns left by the Green Enanitos were songs like Lamento Boliviano and Yo Te Vi En Un Tren, and his music has also reached the Argentine soccer fields. Tú Cárcel, for example, inspired Newell fans to sing a little football song called Somos Pioneros, which was heard widely at Coloso in 2012 and 2013.
Marciano was a fan of Argentina de Mendoza and he told the club’s website in an interview in 2016. “I wasn’t much of a football fan. But my father’s passion for football helped me with music. it helped. I enjoyed seeing Quique Lucero, doing magic on the pitch, and that gave me some flashes, I remember being on the pitch. Then I went into the music and it absorbed me, but the feeling is still there. “
