Havana anniversaries. April 2.

1906.   Enrique Arredondo is born in Havana.

From the time of his youth he first worked in various trades. Already from 1923 he began to act in several theater companies, with which he toured Cuba on countless occasions. He was part of that generation of popular artists who, self-taught and thanks to his talent, triumphed on the stage and in his case also in radio and television programs. In 1934 he had been hired to play the character of Negrito at the famous Alhambra Theater. He came to be considered one of the best interpreters of this type of character. As the years went by, he formed companies with other figures and in 1940 he created his own stage group. He was a follower of Arquímedes Pous, who was his idol, together with Alicia Rico and Candita Quintana. His natural grace and that polished craft, to which his high values as a human being were added, opened the hearts of the public.

He died in Havana on November 15, 1988.
