In 1942 in Havana, Juan Blanco patented the plans for the Multiórgano, an electronic instrument that used 12 loops of chromatic recordings of voices and instruments, recorded on magnetic wires. In 1964, he organized the first public electronic music concert in Cuba at Unión Nacional de Escritores y Artistas de Cuba. In 1979, he was appointed director of what became the Laboratorio Nacional de Música Electroacústica (LNME), an important center where many of the best known Cuban composers have studied and worked.
