Concierto barroco es una novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada por primera vez en 1974. La trama sigue a un indiano y su criado negro a través de diversos escenarios históricos y culturales, desde Coyoacán en el siglo XVIII hasta la Venecia de los carnavales. La novela explora temas de identidad, tiempo y la relación entre la música y la historia, todo ello en un estilo barroco y exuberante característico de Carpentier.
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.
