Esteban Salas Y Castro

Esteban Salas y Castro (December 25, 1725 – July 14, 1803) was a Cuban composer of religious music.[1] His compositions focused chiefly on vocal music, and are a fine representation of the late Baroque style. Although heavily influenced by French and Italian works of the period, his music is considered to incorporate an original Latin American component. He became a teacher and head of music at the Chapel of Music at the cathedral of Santiago de Cuba from 1764.
