Ñico Rojas is undoubtedly one of the most important Cuban composers for guitar. A man with no academic tuition, he demonstrated that in order to transcend and be free, the magic of music only requires a sensitive soul and vocation.

Besides his great talent he was an exceptional human being; a Cuban who with open arms offered sympathy, humility and kindness to anyon e with the desire to learn and admire music. His music gives a glimmer of his human qualities and the prowess of such sparkling honesty resides in his capacity to convey feelings.
