Rolando Alarcón - Canta a los Poetas Soviéticos (1971)

The Chilean composer and singer/player Rolando Alarcon (1929 - 1973) is one of the pioneers of the New Chilean Song movement.

He founded the folk band "Cuncumén" in 1955. In 1962 he left the band and in 1965, after the brief period with "Los De Las Condes", he released his first solo album: "Rolando Alarcón Y Sus Canciones", followed by "Rolando Alarcón" and "El nuevo Rolando Alarcón" (1967) where he turned to a more social implication and to the pop music. He also played on "La Peña de los Parra" and in "Chile Ríe y Canta" peñas.
