Talk:Manuel Saumell

Expand, please
To anyone with good source material: Saumell is an important figure deserving more attention; this article would benefit from more biographical detail. Someone [?] is quoted as saying his life was "miserable, peripatetic, [and] sorrowful", and a failed romance is highlighted; however, internet blurbs indicate he was the founder/director of respected musical organizations in Havana, and had a wife and three sons - doesn't sound so bad! More info about his musical education and influences and the actual circumstances of his life and (fairly early) death would be good. I'd try it myself but don't have any books on the subject, and would like to preserve at least some of the "romantic lilt" of the writing - not very encyclopedic, but (IMO) not inappropriate for an article on the music of Cuba. Anybody? 2601:601:1:1924:5AB0:35FF:FE6F:8F7E (talk) 17:26, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
