Cuba's history, marked by Spanish colonization and various 'liberators,' has always been driven by a will towards independence and freedom.
Lecuona's music blends romantic virtuosity, Cuban dances, passionate outpourings, travel evocations, and decadent relics of 19th-century Vienna.
Ernesto Lecuona, a Cuban composer and pianist, played Rhapsody in Blue for George Gershwin and was praised by Maurice Ravel.
