José Antonio Rojas passes away.

He was born in Havana on August 3, 1921. Known as Ñico Rojas, in his professional career he showed a great capacity for improvisation as a result of his prodigious creative imagination. According to some specialists, he had a way of composing and interpreting that broke the parameters, fusing them, between the classical and the popular, with singular virtuosity.  Thanks to his originality, in Cuba in 1950 a way of composing instrumental music for guitar emerged, unprecedented until then in that style in different Cuban rhythms. His guitar pieces have been used as study material in music conservatories. For his outstanding work he received the annual award of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba, the Distinction for National Culture and the Raúl Gómez García Order.
