Alvaro (Alvaro Peña-Rojas), the singer and songwriter was born in Valparaíso, Chile in 1943.

In 1974 and after releasing several singles with Chilean rock bands, he arrives in London where he formed with Joe Strummer (THE CLASH) the legendary group called THE 101'ERS.

In the ethical 2000s and amidst infotainment, political correctness and missions of all calibers, the TRANSITIONAL MUSIC and poetry (he has published poetry and released 18 records: LPs, singles and CDs) created by ALVARO has survived them all.

From his early youth playing music in Chile to now, the strong individuality of this piano player, singer and composer has defeated all music trends and fashions. Love it or hate it!

Alvaro lives at present in Germany touring Europe and Latinamerica regularly.
