Cayetano Pagueras
(Barcelona, c.1740 - Havana, c.1810)

Spanish composer and organist mainly active in Cuba. He was born on an unknown date in Barcelona, the city where he lived and studied for the first years before settling in Cuba, where he is believed to have arrived around 1750. There he possibly received lessons from Esteban Salas, the most prominent Cuban composer of his time. From 1779, and commissioned by Manuel Lazo de la Vega, he regularly began composing for the many religious services. At the same time, he ran for the position of chapel master in Puebla, Mexico, and in the same Cathedral of the Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Havana, in both cases without success. It was in this way that he devoted himself to singing, as a contralto, and organist of the Cathedral. He continued composing music and regularly performing in the religious ceremonies until 1810, when he is believed to have died in the Cuban city. #ClassicalMusic
