"'''Rubina'''" is a song by [[guitarist]] [[Joe Satriani]], featured on his debut album (and named after his artist wife), ''[[Not of This Earth (Joe Satriani album)|Not of This Earth]]'', released in 1986. It is the third track on the album and the recorded album version is 5 minutes 50 seconds in length. The track is notable for the use of the [[harmonics]] technique by Satriani. An emotional ballad, the chord progression is G major to E minor.

The track remains one of his more popular songs which [[Satriani]] still performs regularly at his latest concerts with slight adaptation. Often during live performances, the song begins with an [[arpeggio]] section which can be heard at the beginning of the song "Turkey Man," which is featured on the album [[Additional Creations]].

The fifth track on Satriani's 1992 album ''[[The Extremist]]'' is entitled "Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness", and is also about his wife.

On 2008 Satriani records a song called "Come on baby" featured on the album "Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock" which was, in Satriani's words, written for his wife Rubina; but, as he explains in his podcast, he wrote the song in 1993 and he never had the courage to perform it until now.
