We examine the history and circumstance in the life of Puerto Rican composer Gonzalo Núñez (1850-1915) during the period from 1900 to 1903. During his second sojourn in Paris he maintained a close personal relationship with Rubén Darío and Amado Nervo, joined by other poets, writers and artists. An extensive on-site research work, conducted in various European, North American and Caribbean libraries and archives, permitted us to gather documentation about the nomadic life of the musician in Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Europe and North America. We show that Núñez’s unpublished manuscript Los arcanos de la música, housed in the Archive of Music and Sound of Puerto Rico, is the main source of two important articles by Rubén Darío.
