SPEAKER_04: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. Today's musician helped put Cuban music on the map as one of the greatest performers in her genre. She made a career out of music when that was almost completely unheard of for her gender. Let's talk about the iconic Maria Teresa Vera. Maria Teresa Vera was born in Guanaje, Cuba, on February 6th, 1895. She started learning guitar at a young age when she joined a group of trova musicians. They were known as troubadours, or wandering street performers who earned their living with music on the go. Trova is a traditional Cuban folk music with a poetic, lyrical style. In 1911, when Maria was 15, she performed publicly for the first time in Havana at a tribute to a Cuban actor. After that, her career took off. She began to perform throughout Cuba in a duo with fellow musician Rafael Zecchiera. The pair also traveled to New York several times to record their music together, but Rafael passed away in 1924. Though Maria occasionally played solo, she soon sought a new duo with Miguelito Garcia in 1926. Maria also put together her own band, the Sextetto Occidente, or the West Sextet. That group was one of the first sextets to play the genre known as son cubano, which blends inspiration from both Spanish and African music. The Sextetto Occidente also traveled to New York to record music, though they only stayed together about 18 months. In 1937, Maria formed another, more lasting musical duo with Lorenzo Jerezuelo. The pair stuck together for 25 years. Maria's music soon became regularly featured on Havana radio stations. Maria recorded almost 200 songs in her career, though her friends and loved ones claimed she could play over a thousand. Her song, Bente Años, or 20 Years, became a standard tune in her country. It's since been covered by numerous artists.

SPEAKER_04: The modern Cuban musician, Silvio Rodriguez, described Maria's voice as nonchalant, graceful, and unique. She always interpreted the song she was playing in a new, creative way. Maria's explosive popularity contributed to an increase in the popularity of Cuban music worldwide. In 1962, Maria had to retire due to illness. By then, she had solidified herself as a legend in Cuban music and a source of admiration for a rising movement of neo-traditionalist trova musicians. Three years later, in 1965, Maria Teresa Vera passed away. In 1995, the album, A Maria Teresa Vera, was released to celebrate what would have been her 100th birthday. Cuban singer-songwriter Pablo Milanese called Maria Teresa the embodiment of Cuban song. And it's true. She's still known as the grand dame of Cuban music. Though trova was soon overtaken by other popular music trends, Maria's fame and popularity stand to this day. All month, we're talking about musicians.
