composer and musician, Jaime Prats. Violinist,
pianist, composer, Rodrigo Prats directed several
orchestras in Havana and served as musical director
for radio and TV stations. Among his most important
zarzuelas is Amalia Batista,
and many artists recorded his songs. Rodrigo
Prats died in Havana on 15 September 1980. |
