Yekk Muzik is a musician and educator from New York who made his home in Xalapa many years ago. He asked me to do his portrait before I moved to Toronto. I was very happy to as he was an influential figure in son jarocho music when key musicians coming from a traditional background began experimenting ten years ago composing new music and incorporating other instruments in their ensembles. It was also a great opportunity to learn more about his career which has taken surprising twists and turns, from southern Spain to South Africa.
