Notes:
María Cervantes was a Cuban pianist, singer and composer born in Havana. She studied music first with her father, the composer Ignacio Cervantes, and later with Gonzalo Núñez and Enriqueta García. She became known for a distinctive performance style in which the piano functioned as an active musical partner rather than merely as accompaniment. Cervantes made recordings in the United States, appeared regularly in Cuban musical life and remained active almost until her death in Havana in 1981
