Manuel Saumell Robredo (19 April 1818[1] – 14 August 1870), was a Cuban composer of the highest importance for his invention and development of genuinely creolized forms of music. [2][3] 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. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Manuel+Saumell">Read more on Last.fm</a>
