Ernesto Lecuona circa 1935
Ernesto Lecuona y Casado (Spanish pronunciation:[eɾˈnestoleˈkwona]; August 7, 1896[1] – November 29, 1963)[2] was a Cuban composer and pianist, many of whose works have become standards of the Latin, jazz and classical repertoires. His over 600 compositions include songs and zarzuelas as well as pieces for piano and symphonic orchestra.[3][4]
In the 1930s, he helped establish a popular band, the Lecuona Cuban Boys, which showcased some of his most successful pieces and was later taken over by Armando Oréfiche. In the 1950s, Lecuona recorded several LPs, including solo piano albums for RCA Victor. He moved to the United States after the 1959 Cuban Revolution, and died in Spain in 1963.
