Manuel Saumell (Composer)

Born: 19th April 1818, Havana, Cuba

Died: 14th August 1870, Havana, Cuba

Nationality: Cuban

Manuel Saumell Robredo was a Cuban composer known for his invention and development of genuinely creolized forms of music. For this reason he gets the credit for being the first to cultivate Cuban musical nationalism, and is of similar standing to Glinka who initiated Russian musical nationalism with A Life for the Tsar at about the same time.
