Career

His career in Peruvian television began in 1973. From 1997 to 2000 he hosted A solas con Marco Aurelio Denegri on Cable Magico Cultural.

TV Peru-, thanks to the aid of José Watanabe, and there he hosted a television program called La función de la palabra, where he addressed various aspects of culture-from music to the beauty of the hands-although he considered it counter-cultural.[7]

He wrote articles for various Peruvian newspapers, which have been published in "De esto y de aquello" by Ricardo Palma University.[4] He wrote a weekly column for El Comercio.[citation needed]

Personal life

Denegri never married and was very reserved regarding his private life. In some programs he expressed being friends with some intellectuals, although during the last years of his life he became totally isolated. His main link to the world was his assistant and maid Rosa Torres; anyone interested in speaking to Denegri had to ring her cellphone to request a telephone conversation with Denegri. After Denegri gave her permission, she connected the phone line and the person in question could communicate directly with him.[8]

During his youth he frequently visited Jirón Huatica in Lima, a meeting place for prostitutes and their clients. In "Miscelánea humanística" he drew a map of the location as he knew it.[9]

He was also a witness to peculiar sexual encounters. In one of the airings of "La función de la palabra", he said that together with a group of people he witnessed a technical intercourse session which involved great endurance in resisting the urge to ejaculate. Denegri related that he saw a male prostitute enduring 45 minutes of passive oral sex without ejaculating. Furthermore, in an interview conducted by journalist Raúl Tola, Denegri said that he attended an ejaculation contest which consisted in ejaculating up to the farthest distance. Amused by his story, Tola asked him where could one find such contests, to which Denegri only replied that several such contests exist.[10]

He was an audiophile and music lover and a Peruvian cajón lover; for this reason he introduced the term cajonística to refer to the art of African-Peruvian cajón playing.[11]

Death

He died on 27 July 2018 due to

pulmonary emphysema.[12]
