About Siboney
"Siboney", also known as "Canto Siboney", is a 1927 song by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona. It was part of the 1927 revue La tierra de Venus, which featured singer Rita Montaner. The music is in cut time, originally written in C major. The lyrics were reportedly written by Lecuona while away from Cuba and is about the homesickness he was experiencing. The term "Siboney" refers to one of the Indigenous tribes that inhabited Cuba before the arrival of the Spanish colonists and acts as a symbol for the island.
