The Songs of Siboney

In January 1855 José Fornaris published Cantos del Siboney, where he presented the peaceful life of the first inhabitants of Cuba. The Spanish Government interpreted the fight between the Siboneyes and Caribe Indians as an allusion to the exploitation of the Creoles. The captain general called Palacio and told him to go and sing to the Indians elsewhere. Nevertheless, this work was received with much brilliance by the public, having five editions between 1855 and 1863 and the author rightly won the title of first siboneyista of Cuba, which became a literary movement. The following poems are part of the notebook: El Siboney, Mi hogar, los últimos siboneyes, Muerte de Doreya, La muerte del cacique, El cacique de Abaguanes, El cacique de Camagüey, among others.
