El Rubio Acordeón

Enmanuel García, known as El Rubio Acordeón, is a young man born in Loma Amacey, belonging to the municipality of San Francisco de Macorís, Duarte Province. Despite having to work at a very young age to help his grandparents, with whom he was raised, he felt a great attraction to art from an early age, inspired by his father, who, although not a professional musician, owned an accordion and occasionally played merengues by great artists of the genre. However, it was with the accordionist LUPE VALERIO that he found his direction in typical music. Lupe taught him the first chords and educated him musically. Despite fame coming to him at a young age, El Rubio is a humble person with strong family values. The young accordionist claims to have made a deal with God that if he gave him success, he would help his family and anyone in need. El Rubio Acordeón is the representation of how typical merengue has evolved over the years, becoming an authentic expression of cultural identity. The verses of his lyrics convey stories of love, heartbreak, and everyday life, carrying with them the emotions and experiences of the Dominican people. This talented young musician is beginning to leave an indelible mark on the history of Dominican music, quickly becoming an icon of the genre and a virtuoso accordion master.
