Ernesto Lecuona (1896–1963) stands as one of Cuba’s most influential composers and pianists. Born in Havana, he helped internationalize Cuban music through the formation of the Lecuona Cuban Boys, a group whose performances brought the rhythm and spirit of the Caribbean to stages around the world. Lecuona’s enduring melodies—Siboney, Malagueña, and The Breeze and I—have been recorded and performed by countless artists, cementing his legacy in both concert halls and cinema. Though there are no contemporary solo performances under his name, modern interpreters continue to present his music, keeping his artistry alive for new generations. Here you’ll find a concise biography, notable works, and information about upcoming tours and events that celebrate his enduring influence in Cuban and global music scenes.
