Drumming in the Valley (a chant for peace)

A concert in which the audience will be exposed to a wide variety of beat, color, and texture from different parts of the world, inter-related in a metaphorical way, providing plenty of aesthetic joy.

"In addition to possessing expertise in the Cuban and Brazilian bass rhythms of most Latin Jazz, Guillermo Cardenas is a virtuoso performer of Afro-Dominican genres ranging from merengue to seldom heard forms such as gaga, palos and pri-pri. He fuses these expertise with an acute sensitivity to jazz aesthestics, thus representing a unique voice in contemporary improvised music."
