Ibrahim Ferrer, june 2004

It all started in 1997 when I made a quick trip with friends to Havana, Cuba. I knew very little about the place. Actually, I knew very little about the revolution and all that stuff. But it sound like a very interesting place to go. And I wasn’t wrong!
After that trip I’ve got more interested about the cuban culture. Music, food and people. I made very good cuban friends here in São Paulo and I wish I can go back to Cuba to make some photo stories there.
Well I had the opportunity to go to Ibrahim Ferrer concert. I still remember talking to Ibrahim after the concert in the backstage. He was a very gentle man. He spoke very slow and quiet, very diferent than the strong voice he had onstage.
It’s very sad that I won’t be able to hear him live again.
