Melesio Capote leaves this world with a life full of prizes. Melesio Capote, wow! The classic guajiro that left his image on the national television cameras. He was ccompanied by his partner ''Valeria'', masterfully played by a great Cuban actress, Eloisa Alvarez Guedes. That was an emblematic figure that marked him forever.
Also "Cheíto León" in the film "El hombre de Maisinicú’’" or "Pedro cero por ciento" of the comedy "De tal Pedro tal astilla". I can not fail to mention his performances in "Las doce sillas’’ and "Los pájaros tirándole a la escopeta". You were and will always be popular. You are in the heart of a people who never forgets you. You were on the radio, television, theater or cinema. Always triumphant, cheerful, witty. He was one of the greatest Cuban actors.
Wow, Melesio! You say goodbye to life at ninety-three years in Cuba where he grew up and to which he never forgot. It was his love for this island what brought him back. Melesio, wow! I still feel young but I'm privileged because I could enjoy his performances. Good bye, guajiro!
