The first thing Garten heard in the late 1970s, when he was studying at New York University, was the mythical jazz band, and Cuban music became one of his passions. He started traveling to the island since 1994, and has accumulated a valuable register, some of his photos have been published in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The New York Times<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">JazzTimes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><b>OnCuba<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as well as in ballet and contemporary dance books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His photos have been the cover of records for Chucho Vald\u00e9s (Irakere\u2019s director), Los Van Van and S\u00edntesis. He works in New York for Arturo O\u2019Farrill and his Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra, he has also illustrated two of the Cuban-American musician\u2019s covers for three Grammy Award winning records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cRhythm Under the Skin\u201d shows the Cuban passion for music. Eleven portraits of Cuban musicians playing live which provoke the senses, almost to the point of being able to hear them and feel their passion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why do you have a passion for Cuban music?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">First you have to start with the rhythm, or the clave, which I believe belongs to the periodic table of elements, or the guaguanc\u00f3, or the Bat\u00e1 drums, or the timba\u2019s \u201cmechanisms,\u201d they make me feel very alive. Ever since I discovered it 40 years ago while I was at university, I thought that the percussionists deserve the Nobel Peace Prize because they are true pioneers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Second, I believe that the synthesis of Africa and Spain has resulted in a very powerful hybrid that unites us to our universal roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And third, I love the omnipotence of daily live Cuban music, which exhibits a very healthy culture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you take with you every time you travel to Cuba?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Above all I bring back inspiration. The times I\u2019ve been in Cuba have given me a language, a culture, and people I didn\u2019t have before. I find it is the antidote to many of U.S. society\u2019s problems. If I contribute something, perhaps it is the link I offer between the people of Cuba and the people of my country when I make expositions and give lectures about Cuba in the United States. I try to pass on a present information about our neighbors with whom we lack so much contact.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographer David Garten entered Cuban music together with Irakere.
