Gonzalo Ascencio Hernández Kessel (5 April 1919 – 10 February 1991), known as Tío Tom (Uncle Tom), was an Afro-Cuban musician who specialized in the rumba and its variant, the guaguancó. Asencio was the author of hundreds of pieces that for decades were sung and danced by Cubans without knowing who created them, except among circles of rumba musicians. Among his most famous compositions are "Changó ta veni", "Mata siguaraya" and "Mal de yerba".
