by Rodrigo León (not verified), 12/21/2020 - 17:55Good evening!
My name is Rodrigo León, and I'm writing this e-mail to make a question for deep research about my family. First of all, a little history about why I came to write this. My family is a dinasty of musicians, and I'm the only one in the whole family who is interested in gathering all the information about my great-grandfather, who was a well known composer in my country.
Recently, I heard about a march he composed for Colonel Charles Lindbergh, back in 1928, when (the aviator) came to México City. The thing is that today, I found out that it's registered. The march is named "Lindbergh En México", and I don't know a single thing about it, I just know that it's a march that Fausto León – my great-grandfather – composed in Lindbergh's honor.
I don't know the story of this march, nor why he wrote it and if it was for when Lindbergh arrived in México City. The only thing I know is that it exists, and that it's registered. I read your comment in YouTube about the policy of not selling any of the records, but I believe this is an outstanding exception. Please get in contact with me, so I can prove that Fausto León was my great-granfather.
