Ignacio Cervantes — Six Cuban Dances

For Europeans countries of Latin America have always seemed exotic, original and full mysterious charm. Cuba is one the indisputable samples of Latin originality. A country of happy people with warm hearts and exclusive traditions. So is their culture and so is their music. Ignacio Cervantes is a virtuoso representative of his people, a prodigy composer by birth. A pioneer of native Cuban music, he showed exceptional devotion to his motherland and conveyed its beauty to the outer world through music. One of brightest dedications is a set of pieces called Six Cuban Dances, originally composed for piano. These short works are full of lively Cuban rhythms and tones. Cervantes’ Dances – or Danzas Cubanas – are perfect for any musical purpose, be it recital, educational concert or just own enjoyment. All in all, Ignacio Cervantes composed 42 dances.
