Alejandro Sokol
Alejandro Sokol (30 January 1960 – 12 January 2009) was an Argentine rock musician, who was part of Sumo and Las Pelotas. Sokol was the bassist, and then the drummer, of Sumo in its early days (1981-1984), and left the band because the rock and roll lifestyle went against his convictions, as he was a member of the LDS church. After 17 years with the band, Sokol left to form his own group, El Vuelto S.A, featuring his son Ismael Sokol, Nicolás Angiolini and Gustavo Bustos (guitars), Sebastián Villegas (bass) and Damián Bustos (drums).
