Bola de Nieve

This work about Ignacio Jacinto Villa better known as Bola de Nieve born in a poor womb reveals who was a true ambassador of that Cuba that did not want to show racial and cultural prejudices. He was a genuine representative of that deep Cuba which carried in its bosom a very great spiritual richness. He was a creator very attached to our roots and he bequeathed us a universal message Creole mestizo and very much ours. He was without a doubt a genuine synthesis of Cuban musical traditions up to that time. He was characterized by simplicity because he was not a victim of the intoxication of fame as it usually happens. About him Alicia Alonso has said: In Cuba nothing else has emerged a Bola de Nieve. It is the life and work of this great artist that I wanted to reflect in these pages.
