The author, Antonio López Meseguer, was born in 1961 in La Ribera de Molina.

Make studies of Vocational Training.

Currently, he is an employee of the Molina de Segura City Council.

Among other actions typical of his position, we can mention the restoration of the San Roque hermitage and the churches of El Fenazar, El Rellano and La Ribera.

Music is your favorite leisure.

He belonged to the Cantores de la Vega formation, was a founding partner of the Armonía Artistic Choir and of the Tuna Currantil and, for five years, he has been the animator of the musical evenings of La Ribera.

On the other hand, history, which he cultivates with rigor and loving dedication, is his great passion, particularly the history of his people, from which he has been periodically publishing articles that are faithfully documented.

In this line of research, for 13 years he has been making a large archive about the famous Aguilar Quartet and members of his family.

Without the documentary collection of said file, the book that at this moment sees the light would not have been conceivable.

As pointed out in his prologue by Antonio Jaime García Mengual, former teacher of the Manuel Massotti Littel Conservatory in Murcia, this book clarifies doubts about the birth and origin of the Aguilar brothers' family, their formation, friendships, artistic life, anecdotes, and so on.

The Aguilar Quartet came to have great global relevance.

The composers of the time, Joaquín Turina, Manuel de Falla, Nin, Ernesto Halffter, Villa-Lobos, María Rodrigo and Igor Stravinsky adapted their works or even composed them exclusively for them.

In his travels around the world they came to deal with important 20th century characters such as Federico Garcia Lorca, Rafael Alberti, Ida Vitale or Che Guevara.

They acted in front of Adolf Hitler, in 1931, and before two American presidents: Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

All this is borne out by this exhaustive book, the fruit of the tenacious and passionate work of Antonio López Meseguer, which also contains original correspondence from the members of the Quartet with the people with whom they interacted.
