Cervantes was considered a child prodigy and was taught by the American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk, among others. Gottschalk encouraged him to study at the Conservatoire de Paris (1866-1870), where he received first prizes for composition (1866) and harmony (1867) and gave concerts with Christina Nilsson and Adelina Patti.
\nCervantes was one of the first musicians to emphasize the special character of the Central and South American peoples in their music. <\/div><\/div><\/div>As a supporter of the Cuban rebels, he had to leave the country temporarily in 1875 and lived in Mexico and the United States for several years. Ignacio Cervantes composed an opera, various pieces of chamber music, zarzuelas and the famous forty-one “Danzas Cubanas”. He wrote his “Fusi\u00f3n de Almas” for his daughter Mar\u00eda Cervantes (1885-1981), who became a well-known pianist, composer and singer.
