Enric Madriguera (17 February 1904, – 1975) was a Spanish child who was playing concerts before he studied at the Barcelona Conservatory. Whilst still in his twenties he was lead violinist at Boston's and Symphony orchestras before becoming the conductor of the Cuban Philharmonic.[1]
In the 1940s he was recording Latin American. It was said that the ambassadors from all the South American countries declared Madriguera to be the "Ambassador of Music to all the Americas". Madriguera appeared in a number of "musical shorts" including "Enric Madriguera and his Orchestra" in 1946 where he performed a number of songs including the orchestra for Patricia Gilmore. A review of one of his appearances recorded how he "reflected the warmth of our neighbours to the south".[2]
He died in retirement in Connecticut.[1]
