Pelado completed his spectacular mural named “Por una Cabeza” near the Hippodrome in Palermo last night. The design features a portrait of Carlos Gardel with his band next to jockey Irineo Leguizamo riding his racehorse ‘Lunático’.

The title of the mural “Por una Cabeza” (“By a head”) is inspired by the well-known tango song by Gardel, and it features a series of eyes and mouths that relate to the spectators and frenzy of race-goers who lay bets at the track.
