Jose Luis “El Puma” Rodriguez (80) y Jose Luis Perales (78) are so similar and so different from each other at the same time. Both are musicians, contemporary, seductive -in their own way- and left their mark with great and incomparable love ballads in Spanish. However, if we talk regarding appearance, there are not many similarities. But this did not prevent a historic role played by the popular and beloved Argentine broadcaster and presenter, Juan Alberto Mateyko.

Recently, in an Argentine TV program, the presenter Juan Alberto Mateyko reviewed a memorable episode in which he confused the “Cougar” Rodriguez con Jose Luis Perales. It was live, during a television interview and, although it was a somewhat uncomfortable moment at first, it ended up marking the great friendship of the Argentine with the Venezuelan singer.
