Guillermo Venegas Lloveras (Quebradillas, Puerto Rico October 12, 1915 – San Juan, Puerto Rico July 23, 1993) was a Puerto Rican songwriter. After success in his youth with popular boleros, waltzes, tangos, marches, and danzas, in later life he returned to classical music. A two-hour television programme was produced by Puerto Rico Lyric Theatre director Jesús Quiñones Ledesma (otherwise known by stage name as the operatic tenor Ricardo Ledesma).[1] After his death the rights to his songs were disputed.[2][3]

- ^ Biography (English) "composed boleros, waltzes, tangos, marches, danzas, and his favorite, classical. In his youth he dedicated his time to popular music and art songs, as composer, guitar player and singer. Piano professor Margarita Van Rhyn, when he was barely 22 years old, said his art songs were at the level of Schumann and Schubert. In the later years of life the music of Guillermo was in general (with some exceptions) classical in nature. Highlights of his later years were the recordings that were made and two full house concerts of his music at Puerto Rico's major concert theaters, the Centro De Bellas Artes and the theater of the University of Puerto Rico and a two hour television special of his music produced by renowned opera tenor Ricardo Ledesma."
