Each week we will be celebrating Hispanic heritage in the arts.
This song in the video below was written by Compay Segundo, a Cuban trovadore. Trova is a style of Cuban popular music originating in the 19th century. Trova was created by itinerant musicians known as trovadores who travelled around Cuba's Oriente province and earned their living by singing and playing the guitar. This song was featured in the 1999 academy award winning documentary Buena Vista Social Club about an ensemble of Cuban musicians established in 1996 to revive the music of pre-revolutionary Cuba.
