Colombian musician Jose Castillo, who is residing in Mexico, plays a song "Navidad Negra" on a traditional Colombian bagpipe in tribute to Colombian Nobel Prize laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, outside Garcia Marquez's home in Mexico City April 19, 2014. Garcia Marquez, the Colombian author whose beguiling stories of love and longing brought Latin America to life for millions of readers and put magical realism on the literary map, died on Thursday. He was 87. A prolific writer who started out as a newspaper reporter, Garcia Marquez's masterpiece was "One Hundred Years of Solitude," a dream-like, dynastic epic that helped him win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. Garcia Marquez died at his home in Mexico City, where he had returned from hospital last week after a bout of pneumonia. REUTERS/Henry Romero (MEXICO - Tags: MEDIA SOCIETY OBITUARY)
