Concierto barroco es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1974. La historia gira en torno a la concepción de la ópera «Montezuma» de Antonio Vivaldi, la primera que toma como tema el Nuevo Mundo. La novela tiene como telón de fondo el encuentro entre dos continentes. La música, una de las disciplinas más queridas y dominadas por Alejo Carpentier, no sólo articula la fábula y le sirve de medio y vehículo, sino que adquiere un papel casi demiúrgico, como lenguaje que funde en una misma realidad tiempos y espacios, y hace confluir en ella a maestros antiguos y modernos de uno y otro lado del Atlántico.
Alejo Carpentier y Valmont was a Cuban novelist, essayist, and musicologist who greatly influenced Latin American literature during its famous "boom" period. Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, of French and Russian parentage, Carpentier grew up in Havana, Cuba, and despite his European birthplace, he strongly identified as Cuban throughout his life. He traveled extensively, particularly in France, and to South America and Mexico, where he met prominent members of the Latin American cultural and artistic community. Carpentier took a keen interest in Latin American politics and often aligned himself with revolutionary movements, such as Fidel Castro's Communist Revolution in Cuba in the mid-20th century. Carpentier was jailed and exiled for his leftist political philosophies.
