About This Item

N.p.: N.p., 1951. Vintage borderless still photograph of Cuban songwriter and composer Osvaldo Farres. Featuring Farres at the piano while two men holding sheet music look on. Archivo Bohemia and Herve Derrien collection rubber stamps to the verso.

One of Cuba's most significant musicians, Farres is said to have had an innate ability for composition. His works included well-known hits such as "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps," "Madrecita," "Tres Palabras," and many more, and have been interpreted by countless musicians including Doris Day, Nat King Cole, Pedro Vargas, Maurice Chevalier, Cake, Bing Crosby, and others. In 1962 Farres emigrated to the United States, where he resided in New Jersey until his death in 1985.
