   Rafael Olmedo was born on March 12, 1837. He was a musician of many talents playing violin and later guitar and became one of El Salvador’s most important 19th century composers. At the age of ten his parents enrolled him in a private music school with Maestro Escolastico Andrino. By the time Agustin Barrios arrived in El Salvador in 1933, two that became his students were René and Cortés Andrino-the great grand children of Maestro Andrino.
