Eduardo Morales Caso (born March 10, 1969 in Havana), is a Cuban composer that has consolidated a position as a prominent figure within the contemporary musical composition, with an international artistic trajectory. The ample catalogue of his works and his biographic profile has been catalogued in the Iberoamerican Dictionary of Music (Diccionario Iberoamericano de la Música): "The songs of Eduardo Morales are included in the best of a compositional tradition that comes from the great composers of the last century Cuban composers... careful structural development, notable lyric flow, strong dramatic accent, achieving a total correpondence between the sound background and the "ethos" of the lyrics.[1]
