Mexico’s foremost composer dies of cancer
NewsMexico’s minister of education has announced the death today of Mario Lavista Camacho, the nation’s leading composer, at the age of 78.
A centreground avantgardist, Lavista had a French higher education and worked in refined orchestral textures.
An artist of the first order. It is music worth finding: refined and unique, away from the populism expected of Latin American composers.
