Leo Brouwer, Afro-Cuban Classical Guitarist, Composer and Conductor


The Afro-Cuban composer, classical guitarist and conductor we now know as Leo Brouwer was named Juan Leovigildo Brouwer when he came into the world in Havana, Cuba on March 1, 1939. He is featured at AfriClassical.com. His enormous influence on guitar music in particular and classical music in general is demonstrated by more than a hundred recordings on which he has played, composed or conducted. Brouwer's compositions reflect classical, Afro-Cuban, jazz and avant-garde influences. His many film scores have brought his music to the attention of a huge audience around the world. Brouwer's influence in his native country results in part from the important positions he has held in Cuban music institutions.

The sheet music of Leo Brouwer is available from Chester Novello, www.chesternovello.com. It is hugely popular with professional and amateur guitarists alike.

In 2012 Leo Brouwer continued his series of chamber music festivals with the IV Leo Brouwer Festival of Chamber Music held in Havana October 3-13, 2012.
The Festival’s final concert included the premiere of the composer's In memoriam Compay Segundo.

No other title could be better suited to a compilation which celebrates a netlabel who has done so much for underground music and creative commons media in such a

short period of time. In the words of our esteemed label owner:

"This compilation is an anniversary release to celebrate the one millionth download on Sirona-Records!
The only words I can say are: Thank you for everything! When I started Sirona, I never expected so much love
and dedication from all the people who contributed to it. We have already made something of which we can be proud, but,
please remember: The adventure continues..." -Arnaud Barbe

Tipping the scales at nine hours and 118 artists, this is indeed a celebration. Spanning seven virtual discs, "Sincerity Is The Key" tips the scales at just under 1GB

of music, covering everything from dance and electronica to punk and metal to ambient and noise. It's unlikely that you'll run out of things to listen to with this

great, free collection on your hard drive or portable listening device. Did I also mention that this compilation features an exclusive track by Subterrestrial called

"Ocean Beach?"
