Mexican violinist and composer. Raised in a musical family, he began performing at the age of seven as Familia Rosas alongside his father and brothers, playing harp, guitar, and singing. He composed and published numerous waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, and other pieces. His waltz Sobre las Olas (Over the Waves), composed in 1891, gained such international fame that it was often believed to be a work by Johann Strauss.
