Hauser, Miron: My Cuba

I encountered the fusion of two worlds at the age of thirteen when I participated at a concert by the popular Cuban timba group Los Van Van. From that moment I knew what was missing in the musical world around me. Punk, pop, funk, techno, classical music, all my previous listening and practical experiences gained a missing element, the groove I found in Cuban music. For me that rhythm represented musical flow. Despite my education as an academic jazz musician, that groove never got lost in the sea of other valuable influences that I took up. On the contrary, the Cuban groove only grew stronger and enriched my expression as a musician, composer, and performer. Cuba is rhythmically one of the richest cultures in the world. It’s no Wonder that it resonates most strongly with me, constantly reminding me of the importance of rhythm in jazz.
