Alberto Korda Alberto Korda Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, better known as Alberto Korda or simply Korda (September 14, 1928 – May 25, 2001), was a Cuban photographer, remembered for his famous image "Guerrillero Heroico" of Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara. Korda, whose real name was Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, was born on 14 September 1928 in Havana, Cuba. He got his first taste of photography when he took his father's Kodak 35mm and began taking pictures of his girlfriend. Korda was the son of a railway worker, and took many jobs before beginning as a photographer's assistant. Korda began his career as a photographer
Paul Korda Hall. Soon after bringing public attention to the pensioners' issue, Korda formed, sang for, and wrote songs for the British rock-fusion band Dada, in which he shared vocals with Elkie Brooks and Jimmy Chambers on their only album, "Dada", for Atlantic Records in 1970. Due to factionalism Korda quit the band and was replaced by Robert Palmer. Korda then decided to go solo and formed a band to play at the Speakeasy Club. This core of musicians—who went on to play on Korda's debut album, "Passing Stranger" (released 1971 on MAM Records)—consisted of Onnie McIntyre and Allan Gorrie and guitarists
