From Curanilahue, land of guitars and accordions, emerges the story of Luis Yancamán, a man who has known how to forge his life with effort, joy, and inherited values. Son of a miner who at 18 went north to work in extractive operations, he grew up surrounded by examples of sacrifice and simplicity that shaped his character.
Together with his wife, Alba Luz Fontalba, they started practically from scratch. "We began with a bed and some cups," he recalls. By her side, he found not only a companion but also a wise and firm administrator: "I would give her the money and she would save it," he says with gratitude, highlighting trust and shared work as pillars of the family.
A fundamental role in his story was played by his father-in-law, Polidoro Segundo Fontalba, whom Luis considers a second father. "First, when I took his daughter away, he was somewhat... but later I earned his affection," he comments with laughter. With him, he dreamed and built a house, always acknowledging his figure as "head of the household and family."
Today, Luis and Alba's children proudly highlight the example they have received. Luis, a machinery operator, deeply values his trade but assures that the most important thing begins at the end of each workday. "You connect with the machine, but the most important thing is to come home, share how the day went, and see your loved ones proud."
