The former leader of the National Information Center (CNI), Álvaro Corvalán, published an obituary for the death of Tito Fernández that occurred on February 11, also called “el Temucano”, which confirms the friendship between the two.
For years the friendship between “El Temucano” and the former CNI leader was rumored, which was found in books such as “Guitaring with the CNI” by Pedro Lemebel and “Álvaro Corbalán: The owner of the night”. They detailed letters that Tito Fernández sent to Álvaro Corbalán.

He always denied the facts, but his version was denied with the obituary that Corbalán sent to The Mercury: “Given the sensitive death of the prominent folklorist and friend “El Temucano”, Mr. Humberto Baeza Fernández (RIP), I join the feelings of regret of his entire distinguished family”, the letter indicates.
It is important to note that the folklorist was characterized by singing protest music during the dictatorship period, although he registered a closeness to the regime. In addition, in recent years the musician was investigated for sexual crimes, which kept him in the eye of justice until his death.
For his part, the former CNI leader is sentenced to 150 years in prison for crimes against humanity in Punta Peuco.
