The troubadour, guitarist and composer Gumersindo, Sindo, Garay, died in Havana at the age of 101.

He is the highest exponent of the Cuban Trova. He was born on April 12, 1867 in Los Hoyos, a popular neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba. In his works he took into account the use of a lyric of singular beauty.  He was inspired by the homeland, the landscape, women, love and it can be said that his compositions are a faithful reflection of his love for the Cuban people. Among his most significant creations are La Tarde, Mi patrio suelo, El huracán y La Palma, Ojos de sirena and Perla marina. He possessed a great natural sympathy.  When he reached the centenary of his existence, he said: "Now that I am 100 years old is when I understand how short life is".
