Famous People

Agustín Lara

Ángel Agustín María Carlos Fausto Mariano Alfonso del Sagrado Corazón Lara y Aguirre del Pino (30 October 1900 – 6 November 1970), beter known as "Agustín Lara", he was born in Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, Mexico, and was a famous Mexican composer who is also considered a musical poet.

Nowadays, in the port of Veracruz, there is a nostalgic place for El Flaco de Oro’s followers: La Casita Blanca ("The Little White House"). From this museum and bohemian corner, the ocean waves can be heard, and the romantic sense of the Veracruzans is evident. Younger and older generations express their emotion while singing "Piensa en mí" ("Think about me") in homage to one who always loved his country.

Luz Osorio

Luz Osorio was born in Papantla, Veracruz, on February 14, 1863. Her parents were Lorenzo J. Osorio and Adelaida Romero, from the same town, where Osorio lived the first years of his childhood. Around 1869 the family settled in the city of Puebla, where three more children were born. As Cortina pointed out, Lorenzo J. Osorio was a prosperous merchant, who by 1899 owned a tannery in the Plazuela de San Francisco, and could have had some minor political activity in Puebla.
Leonor Cortina drew attention to her work during the exhibition Pintoras mexicanas del siglo XIX, which was held in 1985 at the National Museum of San Carlos, in Mexico City. This exhibition was the result of a pioneering work of investigation, which was consigned in the homonymous catalog thanks to which it is possible to know part of the work as well as biographical data referring to Osorio.
