Ernesto Lecuona (August 6, 1895 – November 29, 1963) was a Cuban composer and pianist of worldwide fame. He first studied under his sister Ernestina, then at the Peyrellade Conservatoire under Antonio Saavedra and the famous Joaquín Nin, and graduated from the National Conservatory of Havana at sixteen. He composed over six hundred pieces, mostly in the Cuban vein, and was a pianist of exceptional skill. Lecuona was also a prolific composer of songs and music for stage and film. His works consisted of zarzuela, Afro-Cuban and Cuban rhythms, suites and many songs which are still very famous.
