Compositor mexicano juventino rosas biography

On the way from Irapuato to San Miguel de Allende and before we make the left turn toward Comonfort at Celaya, we pass by a town called Santa Cruz de Juventino Rosas or just "Juventino Rosas" for short. The town didn't always go by that name. Before 1939 it used to be called Santa Cruz de Galeana and before 1912 it was called Santa Cruz de Comontuoso. The reason that it eventually became Juventiono Rosas is because on January 25th of 1868 a remarkable child was born to Paula Cadenas y Jesús Rosas and the child's full name was José Juventino Policarpo Rosas Cadenas. The father, Jesús Rosas, was a musician and had been with the Mexican troops who fought against the imperial forces of Maximilian of Hapsburg, the one time "Emperor of Mexico". After the fighting was over he and his little family ended up in the Celaya area and settled at Santa Cruz de Comontuoso because it was known at the time as a place where craftsmen were making stringed instruments. It was there that Jesús Rosa tried to eke out a living but times were tough and the family ended up moving to Mexico City in 1875. Needless to say, however, that young Juventino Rosas was exposed to music at an early age and the first to notice it was his own father who also became his music teacher and taught Juventino to play the violin. In 1878 his father formed a trio out of Juventino and his brothers Manuel and Jesús they tried to make money by playing at fiestas and events in the local area. They didn't have much success, however, and had to look for a better way to earn their daily bread.

Eventually Juventino found work with a band and later along with his father and his brother Manuel he found work in an orchestra. Juventino advanced rapidly and after hearing Juventino play, a doctor by the name of Manuel M. Espejel introduced him to Dr. Alfredo Bablot who was the director of the National Conservatory of Music. He was admitted to the conservatory where he learned how to read and write music and also some music

    • Café TacvbaCc

    Band Café Tacvba is recognized for its trend-setting and versatile style, fusing Mexican sound with influences such as rock and roll, punk, hip-hop and ska.

    Rubén Albarrán, Meme (Emmanuel del Real Díaz), and siblings Joselo and Quique Rangel formed the band in Ciudad Satélite in the State of Mexico and booked their first gig at El Hijo del Cuervo in 1989. Thirty years, countless awards and over 10 albums later, it is considered by many as the most important Mexican rock band worldwide.

    Their album Re (1994), which includes some of the band’s most iconic songs including “Las flores”, “Esa noche” and “La ingrata”, topped the 10 Greatest Latin Rock Albums of All Time list published by Rolling Stone magazine.

    Their concerts have been captured in two documentaries: Being: Café Tacvba (2010) by José Manuel Cravioto and Ernesto Contreras, who traveled with the band on a tour that included countries such as the United States, Spain and Japan —where they performed before Princess Hanako of Hitachi— and El objeto antes llamado disco: la película (2013), filmed in Chile, Argentina, the United States and Mexico.

    Maria Grever

    (14 September 1885 – 15 December 1951) was the first female Mexican composer to achieve international acclaim. She is best known for the song "What A Difference A Day Makes" (originally "Cuando vuelva a tu lado"), which was popularized by Dinah Washington and has been covered by numerous artists.

    Grever wrote more than 1000 songs — the majority of them boleros — and her popularity reached audiences in Latin America, Europe, and the United States. She was said to have possessed perfect pitch and wrote most of her songs in one key. Her first piece of music, a Christmas carol, was composed when she was four years old. She wrote her first song when she was 18 years old, "A Una Ola" (To a Wave), and it sold three million copies.

    In 1920 she began work as a film composer for Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox studios. Joining ASCAP in 1935, her chief musical collaborators included Stanley Adams and Irving Caesar.

    Grever once said: “I had to leave my country, and now in New York, I am interested in Jazz and Modern Rhythms, but above all, in Mexican Music, which I long to present to the American people. I am afraid they don't know much about it. It is music worth spreading; there is such a cultural richness in Mexican Music (its Hispanic and indigenous origins and how they mix) where melody

    • Juventino Rosas

    Mexican composer and violinist (1868–1894)

    For other uses, see Juventino Rosas, Guanajuato.

    José Juventino Policarpo Rosas Cadenas (25 January 1868 – 9 July 1894) was a Mexican composer and violinist, known worldwide for the waltz "Sobre las olas" ("Over the Waves").

    Life and career

    Rosas was born in Santa Cruz, Guanajuato, later renamed Santa Cruz de Galeana, Guanajuato, and still later into Santa Cruz de Juventino Rosas. Rosas began his musical career as a street musician, playing with dance music bands in Mexico City. In 1884-85 and 1888 he enrolled into the conservatory, both times leaving it without taking any examination.

    Most of Rosas's compositions—among them "Sobre las Olas" ("Over the Waves")—were issued by Wagner y Levien and Nagel Sucesores in Mexico City.

    In the late 1880s, Rosas is reported to have been a member of a military band, and in 1891 he worked in Michoacán. In 1892–93 Rosas lived near Monterrey before joining an orchestra in 1893 for a tour through the USA. During this tour, the group performed at the World Columbian Exposition World's Fair in Chicago, Illinois.

    In 1894, Rosas went for a several-month tour to Cuba with an Italian-Mexican ensemble, where he came down with major health problems, having to stay behind in Surgidero de Batabanó. As a result of spinal myelitis, he died there at the age of 26. Fifteen years later, in 1909, his remains were brought back to Mexico.

    Rosas is one of the best known Mexican composers of salon music, as well as the one with the highest number of editions abroad and of sound recordings, the first of them released in 1898. Rosas's best known work is "Sobre las Olas" or "Over the Waves". It was first published in Mexico in 1888. It remains popular as a classic waltz, and has also found its way into New Orleans Jazz, Bluegrass Music, Country and Western music and Tejano music. In the United States "Sobre las Olas" has a cultura
