The Enigma of Atlantida Andres Ruiz Tarazona English and Espanol With The Enigma of Atlantida, Spanish musicologist Andres Ruiz Tarazona, has written a book that envelops the reader in the captivating mystery of Atlantis. L'Atlantida , Jacint Verdaguer's poem, relates the mythological story of the submersion of Atlantis, which created the separation of Latin America from Spain by producing the Alantic Ocean. Subsequently, with the Spanish discovery of America, the two were again unified. Spanish composer Maneul De Falla was born in Cadiz in 1876. While living in Granada, he started work on a Cantata. Based on Verdaguer's text of the poem L'Atlantida, he set about creating a large scale orchestral piece, Atlantida. He considered it his most important work, continuing with it when he moved to Argentina. He had not finished the work when he died in 1946. Ernesto Halffter completed the orchestration after the composer's death.
