Who was Bin Valencia?

He passed away while playing at La Quadra Rock Club, located in the Buenos Aires town of Ramos Mejía, in Argentina. It is said that he may have suffered a heart attack, although this has not yet been confirmed.

From a very young age, Adrián (his real name) ventured into the world of music. In fact, he met his wife in a band. However, it was not until 2001 that he joined Almafuerte. He appeared on the albums Piedra libre, Ultimando, Toro y pampa and Trillando la fina. (Filed as: Bin Valencia drummer dies after fainting on stage)
