Chavez was unyielding as he kept the pressure on the fading Gerena and wobbled him with a sharp right hand to the chin with 1:35 to go in the round.

Chavez was also instrumental in establishing a national identity for Mexican music, frequently drawing on the pre-Hispanic culture.
If your only knowledge of Chavez is this luscious amalgam of pulsating rhythms and reworked Indian melodies, succulently scored for a ripe romantic orchestra positively bristling with exotic Central American percussion, you could be forgiven for concluding that Chavez had set off hot-foot along the path of Nationalism, as Dukas had encouraged him to do.
Suffice it to say that Chavez, utterly unfazed at this prospect, stuck to his guns and produced an imposing edifice, growing out of the gruff tones of a solo tuba and culminating in a vast, cumulative fugue.

Chavez knows that those who do not want to live under African-like poverty will make one of the only two choices that Fidel Castro's subjects have had during the past four decades: show unconditional loyalty to the party or emigrate to a free nation.
