Rolando Alarcón Soto (August 5, 1929 – February 4, 1973) was a Chilean teacher, folklorist, soloist and composer. He became a national-known figure in his home country due to his work as a musician, and at his funeral, even the president, Salvador Allende, expressed his regrets.[1] Born on August 5, 1929, he grew up in Sewell, Chile, where he lived together with his parents, Atilio Alarcón de la Fuente and Zunilda Soto Riquelme, and his three brothers. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Rolando
