Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, also known as Los Redondos, was a rock band formed in La Plata, Argentina. The group was active from the mid 70s up to the early 2000s. They are known for shaping argentinian rock and their enormous fan base.
Name
Patricio Rey is the name of a fictional character or group consciousness, and not a real person or member of the group, Los redonditos de ricota (lit. "the small ricotta 'roundies'") is the colloquial name of a variety of home-made buñuelos filled with ricotta cheese, round in shape (hence the name).
"El Indio" Solari, lead singer embodies the one-man-show mystique, and for long time people wrongly believed that Patricio Rey was his real or stage name. As for the name of the band, it came from its early association with a friend (Edgardo Gaudini, el Doce), famous for his recipe of said pastry, which he distributed freely among attendees to the band's first gigs. In one of those dates, pressed by the organizer to provide a name for the backing group, they fell on the spur of them moment for that dish, which later stuck.
