“You died as a hero who wanted to protect our son,” says artist Camille Gamarra, wife of musician Diego Gallardo (Aire del Golfo), victim of the shooting in Los Ceibos.

“My story with Camille is the clearest example of what it means to feel chemistry at first sight. I knew it from day one. We crossed paths at a beer festival without anyone introducing us. From that day we became inseparable. “We grew as a couple, as artists, as a family.” This is how a musician from Guayaquil described it Diego Gallardo (Gulf Air)his feelings towards the artist Camille Gamarra.

Gallardo was hit yesterdayTuesday, January 9, due to a stray bullet after a confrontation between some criminals who clashed with police officers located in the Los Ceibos sector.

“You and I are against it, but how can I make you listen to me? You were my happy ending, my best friend, the one who was always there when the world was falling apart, and where are you now? My artistic partner, who would understand each other better than us? Who has supported us in our art more than us? Who trusted each other more than us? You were my team. My everything,” writes Gamarra in a meaningful post on his Instagram profile.

La Petite Artist, as Gamarra is also known in the art guild, shared her publication with a series of photos with Gallardo, as a couple and as a family.

“This will be our year, we had so many projects, goals and dreams. We counted the days until the beginning of 2024 and now I just wish with all my might that this year never came. You died a hero, going to protect our son. That love so great without measure is what remains for us as a consolation. My children could not have had a better father than you. If you could see all that you have left behind in music and culture, maybe you would see yourself with the same eyes of pride that I always saw you with every time you took the stage. You will always be my admiration. “I hope I was able to return all the love and happiness you gave me,” he said.
