I will never be able to get music out of an instrument, nor sing in a concert, but for 13 years I worked closely linked to the world of music in Cuba, especially to the Nueva Trova, thanks to my role as a photographer at the Centro Cultural Pablo de la Torriente Brau. Those were unforgettable times where I enjoyed and saw the birth of some songs that today are essential for the history of contemporary Cuban music.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me the staging of a concert was the main course, but what happened before, during and after each concert off stage was the garnish that defined the dynamic between the musicians and that would leave in my archives that less seen part of the music before it became a show. Those little things, those simple details or actions that will help us tell a story when time goes by, remain in an image and become memory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was once asked what my super power was, and without hesitation I answered: I can freeze time.<\/span><\/p>\n
