Luis Eduardo Aute

Luis Eduardo Aute has worked across multiple creative fields while performing within the musical traditions of Canto Nuevo and Nueva Trova. After his early years in the Philippines, Aute relocated to Spain in 1954. His initial focus as an artist centered on painting, which led to his debut exhibition in Madrid during 1960. By the middle of the decade the painter and poet had been persuaded to make his own recordings, resulting in a contract with RCA in 1966. The next year saw the release of Aleluya and Rosas En El Mar. His literary output gained notice through the appearance of such volumes as Las Matematicas del Espejo, La Liturgia del Desorden, and Animal. Following the 1995 album Alevosía, Aute traveled throughout Latin America and Spain presenting the painting exhibition Ad Libidum and later contributed to the collective project Un Secreto A Voces, whose lyrics were written by Alejandro Filio.
