Sayas and the black gaita legacy

Jesus Maria Sayas was the oldest of the black gaiteros of Sucre. He lived most of his life in Pita e' Medio, a village near San Onofre, a town that represents the heart of la cultura Afrosabanera. Jesus Maria Sayas died on december 26, 2009 at the age of 90. El Maestro Sayas was not only a great musician, but a great human being who lived his life around his music and his land. Thanks to Sayas the names  and the repertoire of the older Afrosabanero musicians will be carried on to the younger generations of musicians of the country
