Rafael Gómez Mayea, Teofilito, a Famous Musician

A song identifies us from Sancti Spiritus: “Pensamiento” by Rafael Gómez Mayea “Teofilito”.

He was born into a humble family from an early age, who would later become a great troubadour leaned towards music, to join groups in this city in the future.

Teofilito’s life did not deviate much from the everyday life of other singers: Serenades, bars, commissioned works and constant staying up late, trying to earn a daily living. Songs to cheer or sadden others, charged in cash, as if the music and compositions that immortalized him had some reasonable price.

That was a key time for the promotion and development of our music.

Dozens of great, classic songs were composed. True works of art, immovable. Like stones on the seashore, the waves of time bathing them to make them resplendent.
