"Today Amparo Rubín comes forward, a singer-songwriter who is fundamental to the emotional history of many, for me, a dear friend, dear, dearest. His talent 'runs, flies and accelerates to the sky'.

María Amparo Rubín Tagle, better known in the national artistic milieu as Amparo Rubín, was born on March 24, 1955 in Puebla. He showed his interest in music since he was very young, because at the age of 11 he composed his first song that years later would be performed by none other than Lupita D'Alessio.

The artist studied the first semesters of the Communication degree in Puebla, but as fate would have it, she switched to Spanish Literature and attended several workshops in Literature and Philosophy. In time, he learned to play the guitar.
