Esteban Salas

<think>

Okay, so I need to write a bio for Esteban Salas. Let's see, the user provided some album titles, which might help. The albums mentioned are "Cantadas Barrocas de Santiago de Cuba", "Esteban Salas: Musica Sagrada de Cuba", "Les grandes heures du baroque cubain", and "Esteban Salas, Un Barroco Cubano". From these titles, I can gather that Esteban Salas is associated with Cuban Baroque music, possibly from the colonial period.

I remember that Esteban Salas was a Cuban composer, but I'm not 100% sure. Let me think. Cuban Baroque composers aren't as well-known as European ones. Wait, Esteban Salas is considered one of the first important composers in Cuba. He was active in the 18th century, right? He was a chapel master at the Santiago de Cuba Cathedral.

The user wants a casual and friendly bio. So I need to present the facts in a conversational tone.

Also, include that his works were rediscovered and recorded, as indicated by the album titles. Avoid any speculative info. Need to check if all details are accurate. I think Santiago de Cuba is correct. Since the user provided the album titles, I can reference that his works are featured in these collections.

Make sure not to make up any personal details like birth/death dates unless I'm certain. I think he was born in 1725 in Havana and died in 1803. But I should verify. If unsure, better not include exact dates. Alternatively, if I know he worked in the mid-1700s, that's okay. Let me recall. I think he was born in 1725 and died in 1803, so that's 18th century. His role in Santiago de Cuba Cathedral as chapel master is correct. His music was rediscovered in the 20th century. Okay, that's enough to form a
