[1880-1961]

José Pomar

José Pomar (1880, Mexico - 1961, ?) was a close friend of Revueltas during the years 1931-1940. They were also political comrades, Pomar being the more radical of the two. As a member of the Mexican communist party, his compositions included Agitprop music, and Revueltas, in a laudatory newspaper article, compared him to the German revolutionary composer Hanns Eisler.
