El pianista Enrique Chia, nació en la ciudad de Cienfuegos, Cuba en donde estudio piano. Emigro a los Estados Unidos en el año 1961 país que desde entonces ha sido su hogar.

El maestro Chia ha rendido homenajes a el romanticismo, a la alegría, incluso a la música de grandes interpretes Como: Rene Lorente, Ernesto Lecuona, Marta Pérez, Juan Areco, Cachao, además de hacer producciones completas dedicadas a países como; México, Argentina y por supuesto su natal Cuba.
