The soul of the band is Rodrigo Cepeda, alias Subhira. He graduated as Composer from the ”Modern School of Music” getting a post graduate specialization and later the Master of the Arts on Composition at the Conservatory of music University of Chile in Santiago.

In addition to composing his own music, which he plays with various music groups, Subhira have composed music for documentaries, films, ballet and theater.
