The city of Santiago de Cuba regrets the death of Gabino Jardines Cisneros, an important accompanying guitarist, which occurred this Saturday morning at the age of 76.

Since his beginnings as an artist, he participated in the most important events in Santiago de Cuba, supporting the declaration of the city as a creative city in music, reported the official Big Turquino.

One of his last presentations took place at the House of Trova of Santiago de Cuba, during the inauguration of the club Eva Griñán, a deceased artist, who was his partner on stage for many years.

Jardines accompanied several generations of great Cuban singers with his guitar, including Elena Burke, Omara Portuondo, Beatriz Márquez, Farah Maria, Ela Bald, among others.

He also lent his strings to new figures such as Giselle Lage, Annie Garcés, Luna Manzanares, Eduardo Sosa, etc.
