May 7, 1946 – Aug 11, 2020 (Age 74)
Arcelio Garcia was the lead singer for the Latin rock band Malo, known for their 1972 hit single "Suavecito." For full obituary and coverage from Legacy.com, click here.
"I remember when 'Suavecito' first came out in the 70s—what a beautiful song. My mom and I both loved it, and now that she’s gone, like Arcelio Garcia, the song holds even more meaning. It’s amazing how music connects us across time, and my family still sings 'Suavecito' today. Rest in peace, Arcelio. Your voice and music will live on in our hearts forever."

I would just say that his songs brought so much love and joy to so many people including myself ❤ we sometimes forget what wonderful memories these songs have brought to are hearts and then we hear them playing when we least expect it and it just brings wonderful awesome feelings to our spirits that we can never forget.
May he rest in peace and my God welcome him into His kingdom for the love and joy he shared with all His children on earth ❤.

RIP Arcelio. Your music brought so much joy and great memories. I actually had the pleasure of speaking to you once on the phone and you were so genuine and down to earth...

He was a great man and friendly client of ours at Lennon Studios where Malo rehearsed for the reunions and Kings of Latin Rock Show at Mission High School in San Francisco. He was always cheerful and pleasant to talk with about the old days of rock music in the Bay Area. I was such a fan of Malo and Latin rock music growing up in the Bay Area and it awesome to have met the Greatness of Arcelio. We closed the studio down and moved out of SF in 2020 and I´m only just this morning learning...
