El beterista y cantante se encontraba internado en terapia intensiva en un centro de alta complejidad del barrio porteño de Almagro, según informó su hermana en la cuenta oficial del músico. La triste noticia se dio desde las redes sociales del músico.

“Soy Dora Alicia Martínez Suárez, hermana de Javier. Lamento informarles que mi hermano ha fallecido hoy”, escribió la mujer este sábado a las 19.30. “El domingo 5 de mayo, entre las 16 y 19, en la Casa Guerrieri de avenida Forest 900 lo acompañaremos en su viaje a la Eternidad por siempre y para siempre”, avisó para quienes quieran despedirlo.

“Cuando uno no tiene más nada que decir, comienza el viaje de callar”, concluyó citando a su propio hermano.

El músico Antonio Birabent fue uno de los primeros en despedir al artista desde sus redes. “Javier Martínez. Inventor del blues argentino, murió hoy. Recordaremos su voz, su risa, su humor, su cultura, sus dichos y el swing de sus palos acariciando los tontones”, escribió junto a una foto del baterista.

Javier Martínez y Manal 

 

Manal, Los Gatos y Almendra, son las bandas que abrieron la posibilidad de un rock en español, en argentino. Manal era un trío integrado por Javier Martínez (voz y batería), Claudio Gabis (guitarra) y Alejandro Medina (bajo) nacido finales de los ‘60 que con dos álbumes y cuatro simples sentó las bases del rock argentino más ligado al blues. Sus letras de amor y desencanto, la vida urbana y su contraste convertían un sonido importado en un ADN rioplatense.

  

Aunque la banda se disolvió a principios de los setenta su sello marcado por la influencia de bandas como Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix y Cream, la ubicó en un lugar inamovible. El último reencuentro de la banda fue en 2014 y terminó plasmado en un CD y DVD que se conoce como Vivo en Red House.
