National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States is celebrated from September 15 through October 15. The observance began in 1968, and it is an occasion to honor the histories and cultures of Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. Today’s Beautiful Music kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month with music by Cuban composer Esteban Salas, who lived from 1725 – 1803. This is a 2014 performance of the villancico UN MUSIQUITO NUEVO by Coro Exaudi de La Habana, conducted by María Felicia Pérez. You can also read more about Esteban Salas using the link below.
