Select Contradanzas Habaneras by 19th century Cuban composer Manuel Saumell (1817-1870). Saumell is known as the Father of nationalism in Cuban music. In more than 50 Contradanzas Habaneras, Saumell never repeated himself, for within those 8 or 16-bar phrases, he was capable of astounding rhythmic and melodic invention. This group of contradanzas were originally written for the piano and arranged here for flute and guitar by Elias Barreiro.
