Born in Santa Fe, Argentina, he was best known as a founding member of Les Luthiers,[2] their emcee, and as writer of many of their shows and lyrics. He also invented one of their most famous instruments, the gom-horn (a trumpet parody) and occasionally played keyboards and percussion for their numbers. Mostly, his role was that of the 'non-musician' member, in spite of having sung for their (mostly operatic) pieces with some frequency.
In the beginning of 2020, it was announced that, due to health problems, Mundstock would not be a part of Les Luthiers for the year. He died on April 22, 2020, in Buenos Aires, due to a brain tumor diagnosed in 2019.[3][4]
