Ernesto Lecuona
Ernesto Lecuona was a Cuban composer and pianist who holds a special place in the world of Latin music for his rich blend of classical technique and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Born in Havana in 1895, he was a child prodigy who went on to study at the National Conservatory in Havana and later in New York. Lecuona composed hundreds of works, ranging from solo piano pieces to symphonic music, but he’s probably best known for iconic tunes like "Malagueña," "Siboney," and "La Comparsa."
His music often reflects the vibrant cultural mix of Cuba, combining the flair of Latin dance rhythms with the sophistication of classical composition. Lecuona's work had international appeal—many of his compositions were adopted into film scores, and his songs were covered by major artists around the world. He passed away in 1963, but his legacy lives on through his timeless music that continues to inspire generations.
