Pedro Albizu Campos (September 12, 1891– April 21, 1965) was a Puerto Rican attorney and politician, and the leading figure in the Puerto Rican independence movement. Gifted in languages, he spoke six; graduating from Harvard Law School with the highest grade point average in his law class, an achievement that earned him the right to give the valedictorian speech at his graduation ceremony. However, animus towards his mixed racial heritage would lead to his professors delaying two of his final exams in order to keep Albizu Campos from graduating on time. During his time at Harvard University he became involved in the Irish struggle for independence.
Albizu Campos was the president and spokesperson of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party from 1930 until his death in 1965. Because of his oratorical skill, he was hailed as El Maestro (The Teacher). He was imprisoned twenty-six years for attempting to overthrow the United States government in Puerto Rico.
In 1950, he planned and called for armed uprisings in several cities in Puerto Rico on behalf of independence. Afterward he was convicted and imprisoned again. He died in 1965 shortly after his pardon and release from federal prison, some time after suffering a stroke. There is controversy over his medical treatment in prison.
Luis de Milán (also known as Lluís del Milà or Luys Milán) (c. 1500 – c. 1561) was a Spanish Renaissance composer, vihuelist (a forerunner to the baroque guitar), and writer on music. He was the first composer in history to publish music for the vihuela de mano, an instrument employed primarily in the Iberian peninsula and some of the Italian states during the 15th and 16th centuries, and he was also one of the first musicians to specify verbal tempo indications in his music.
He probably lived all his life in Valencia, though details are sketchy at best. He seems to have been employed by the ducal court until around 1538. In 1535 he published his first book, a parlor game with music, entitled El juego de mandar; in the next year he published what was to be his most important book, Libro de música de vihuela de mano intitulado El maestro. This book was dedicated to King John III of Portugal; this dedication, and the existence of six villancicos which Milán wrote in Portuguese, suggest that he may have traveled to that country and spent some time there.
Fantasia may refer to:
From Luys Milán, El Maestro, published in Spain in 1536, this pair, Pavana (IV) on an Italian air and the fantasia XXI on the same theme (tonos 7 and 8). Vihuela made by Didier Jarny.
Another fantasia from the Milán collection... Vihuela made by Thomas Norwood. Lute Viola da mano luth
This is my newest recording of the Fantasia #4 from the first part of the Book 'El Maestro' composed by Luis Milán (originally for vihuela de mano; 1536). By mistake I called it 'Fantasia del primero tono' in the movie title ... It is a 'Fantasia del segundo tono'. The recording was done straight to a Tascam DR-40 (r) recorder in its original configuration (no external microphones). The microphones are directed straight (zero degree internal angle). Only a bit of reverb added at mixdown, no other effects. (c) R. Jaroslawski music, film and stills; Recorded on 10 April, 2012; stills Cordoba, 2010 Please enjoy!

http://democracynow.org - Commemorations are being held today to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Pedro Albizu Campos, popularly known to many as Don Pedro, the former head of the Nationalist Party and leader of the Puerto Rican independence movement. Albizu Campos spent some 26 years in prison for organizing against U.S. colonial rule. He was born in 1891, seven years before the U.S. invaded the island. He would go on to become the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard Law School. Once he returned to Puerto Rico, he dedicated the rest of his life to the independence movement, becoming president of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party in 1930. It was a position he held until his death in 1965. In 1936, Albizu Campos was jailed along with other Nationalist leaders on conspiracy...

Unwavering audacity, intense political passion, fierce national pride -- Pedro Albizu Campos had all the makings of a classic 20th century revolutionary. As President of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party, he championed social justice, defied colonial rule, and galvanized Puerto Rico's fight for independence from the United States. Revered by Che Guevara as "a symbol of the yet un-free but indomitable Latin America," and auspiciously tagged a "Puerto Rican Malcolm X," Albizu was a hero in his homeland until his controversial death in 1965. But by as early as 1933, "El Maestro," (the Teacher) as he was commonly known, was a veritable public enemy in the U.S. Despite a Harvard education and service during World War I, Albizu was condemned a criminal in Washington, labeled a terrorist by the ...
