Biographical / Historical
Cenobio Hernández (1863-1950) was born into a musically talented family in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. He moved to San Antonio in the 1920s and played in orchestras that accompanied silent films in the Palace and Majestic Theaters. He composed hundreds of original songs throughout his life—not just upbeat polkas, but also classically-inspired pieces with hypnotic harmonies and elegant melodies. His music has been featured in Olympic ice skating competitions.
