Rufino Mario García

Hey music fans! Let's talk about Rufino Mario García, a true gem in the world of Uruguayan folk music. Born in Piedras de Afilar, Canelones in 1925, García made a name for himself as both a talented guitarist and an incredible poetry reciter. In fact, he's considered one of the most important poetry reciters in Uruguay's history.

García's passion for Uruguayan culture shines through in his work. He's known for his interpretations of gauchesco poetry and his performances of works by famous Uruguayan poets. Some of his most notable albums include "Antología de Poesías Uruguayas" and interpretations of poets like "Viejo Pancho" (José Alonso y Trelles) and Serafín J. García. While we're not sure of the exact date, it's believed that García passed away around 1974. His legacy lives on through his recordings, which continue to captivate listeners with their blend of musical skill and poetic artistry.
