Maria Teresa Vera
María Teresa Vera stands as one of Cuba's most iconic musical figures, a pioneering force in the *trova* tradition with a voice that shaped 20th-century Latin music. Born in 1895, she broke barriers as a woman in a male-dominated genre, mastering the guitar and delivering emotionally charged boleros with raw authenticity. Her 1928 classic *Veinte Años* became a cornerstone of Cuban music, its bittersweet lyrics and haunting melody still covered by artists today. Alongside collaborators like Lorenzo Hierrezuelo, she refined the *son cubano* style, blending African rhythms with Spanish guitar into timeless tracks like *Lagrimas Negras* and *El Soldado*.
Though she retired from performing in 1962, Vera’s legacy as the *"Señora de la Trova Cubana"* lives on through remastered releases and deluxe editions that reintroduce her work to new generations. Her intimate, poetic storytelling—heard in gems like *Mujer malvada* and *Las perlas de tu boca*—remains a blueprint for Latin folk and bolero artists. A true architect of Cuban culture, Vera’s music still whispers the soul of Havana’s golden age.
