Rita Montaner
Rita Aurelia Fulcida Montaner y Facenda (20 August 1900 – 17 April 1958), known as Rita Montaner, was a Cuban singer, pianist and actress. In Cuban parlance, she was a ''vedette'' (a star), and she was well known in Mexico City, Paris, Miami and New York, where she performed, filmed and recorded on various occasions. She was one of Cuba's most popular artists between the late 1920s and 1950s, being known as ''Rita de Cuba''. Though classically trained as a soprano for zarzuelas, her mark was made as a singer of Afro-Cuban salon songs such as "The Peanut Vendor" and "Siboney".〔Sublette, Ned (2004). ''Cuba and its music: from the first drums to the mambo''. Chicago, IL: Chicago Review Press. p. 384.〕
Throughout her career, Montaner kept a close personal and professional relationship with two famous musicians from her hometown of Guanabacoa: pianist-singer Bola de Nieve and composer Ernesto Lecuona.〔Depestre Catony, Leonardo (1990). ''Cuatro músicos de una villa''. Havana, Cuba: Letras Cubanas, La Habana.〕〔Fajardo, Ramón (1997). ''Rita Montaner: testimonio de una época''. La Habana.〕
==Life==
Montaner was born on 20 August 1900 in Guanabacoa, Havana, into a middle-class family. Her father, Domingo Montaner Pulgarón, was a white pharmacist and her mother, Mercedes Facenda, a mulatta; she herself was short in stature, good-looking with a fine smile, and intelligent. She learned English, Italian and French at religious school, and at 10 attended the Peyrellade Conservatory in Havana. There she studied music: solfege, theory, harmony and piano; at 16 she started on voice lessons. She was from the start a potential star: her first press notice came in 1912, her first press photograph in 1913, in 1915 she received two bronze medals for piano. In 1917, Montaner played Mendelssohn in her final examination at the Peyrellade Conservatory in Havana; she graduated in piano, song and harmony with a gold medal.
Rita married a lawyer, Dr Alberto Fernández Díaz, in 1918. They had two sons, Rolando and Alberto. The marriage lasted until his death in 1932,〔according to Cuban sources such as Martínez-Malo, but according to Sublette she divorced in 1928. v. Sublette (2004) p. 385.〕 and she married again, twice.〔Martínez-Malo, Aldo (1988). ''Rita la Única''. La Habana. pp. 135, 146, 155.〕 She died of cancer in 1958, aged 57.
