Encyclopedia > Esteban Salas y Castro

Born (25th December, 1725) Havana, Cuba. Died (14th July, 1803) Santiago de Cuba. Composer.


Notable composer of church and religious music. Became teacher and head of music at the Chapel of Music at the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba from 1764. He also studied theology and canonic law and was ordained a priest in Santiago de Cuba in 1790.


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.


Salas composed his last carol for Christmas 1801. Interest in his works was revived during the twentieth century following the redicovery of many of his lost scores during the 1940s by the internationally renowned Cuban novelist, intellectual and musicologist, Ajejo Carpentier.

También cursó estudios de Filosofía y Derecho Canónico con vistas a su ordenación sacerdotal, la que, sin embargo, no tuvo lugar hasta 1790, en uno de los episodios más poéticos y conmovedores de su vida.
Salas, austero y dedicado, se aplicó enteramente a componer para las más variadas festividades eclesiásticas (Navidad, Semana Santa, Letanías de los Santos), así como misas, oficios comunes o de difuntos, y, sobre todo, para las celebraciones de la Virgen, especialmente la del Carmen, de la que era muy devoto.
Allí se interpretaron por primera vez sus villancicos y cantadas, con la misma intensidad que debieron haber logrado en tiempos del humilde pero genial músico y religioso.

Esteban Bolaños ingresó de cambio dispuesto a pelear o morir.
Y en ese instante, sobre el minuto 57, la suerte de Cartaginés empezó a cambiar.
Y de verdad que lo consiguió, puesto que William se desgastó paulatinamente, mientras que Castro creció como socio de Esteban Sirias por el carril derecho.
