Of the thirteen Rubio Morales siblings, all children of the town of Pirque, 27 kilometers south of Santiago, Alfonso Eladio is the youngest. "Almost all of us sing, but the ones who followed in the footsteps of the big guitar were Santos and me," he says in the presentation of the album El guitarrón chileno, herencia musical de Pirque (2000).
Santos is Santos Rubio, his older brother, and the big guitar is the Chilean guitarrón, a traditional instrument that Alfonso Rubio began to play at the age of nineteen, in 1980. Singer to the human and the divine, payador and active cultural manager of the song to the poet, he is also the musical director of the mentioned disc, in which part of the historical inheritance of the guitarrón was inscribed.
