Andrzéj Lew Kùmiéga (Leco-Osonian: Andjèi Lev Cüumièga) was a Lec poet, composer, socialist, and nationalist. Born in Pôrma Lekkëbsczi in 1836, Kùmiéga composed his first piece, titled The Bird in 1857. He gained popularity in Odissia with his masterpiece, The Cloister in 1864. A member of the Lekezish (Leco-Jewish) community, Kùmiéga's work often mixed the styling of traditional Lec, Jewish, and Odissian music, and his work is often considered a mainstay in Lec operatic music. His work was also extremely nationalistic, and by 1870, he has garnered a large following in the Lec community and had become heavily involved in politics, especially with the emerging socialist movement. In 1876, after various talks broke down between the Odissian authorities and the Lec population in the city of Parma, Kùmiéga instigated a riot which overtook the city, sparking the Kùmiéga Revolution. He was installed as Dictator of the Council of the Revolution, in charge of overseeing the rebel State of Lecistan, and was seen as the main figurehead of the revolution. During this time, he wrote the tune of Bread and Cornflowers as an anthem for the Lec diaspora. He was captured by Odissian forces on 20 February 1878 and put to death by firing squad on 2 March.
