Mexican rock pioneer 'Javis' dies; entertainment world mourns children's show figure

Javier Martín del Campo, known as "Javis" and founder of the influential 1970s Mexican rock band La Revolución de Emiliano Zapata, has died at the age of 75. The band achieved international fame with their song "Nasty Sex," which later experienced a resurgence when featured in Alfonso Cuarón's 2001 film "Y tu mamá también." Javis was also the guitarist and composer behind the band's success with "Mi forma de sentir."

La Revolución de Emiliano Zapata stood out in the 1960s for its use of Spanish lyrics, a contrast to many contemporaries who favored English. Javis leaves behind a significant legacy in Mexican rock history.

Separately, the entertainment industry mourned the passing of Samuel Garza, 32, who was part of the children's show "Beli y Beto." Garza managed the show's social media presence, keeping fans updated. The "Beli y Beto" team was on tour in Argentina when his death occurred, though details remain undisclosed. The show's official statement expressed that his memory would "remain always in our hearts and he will be part of the history of this great family."
