The Bongo Project ... the new frontier of bongo
World Clinic/Performance
Thursday, 9:00 a.m.

Drumming is my job, percussion is in my heart, and bongo playing is my passion. I live in Caracas, Venezuela and I have been involved with music for about 20 years. My parents gave me a drumset for my eighteenth birthday and, from then on, everything has been for the sake of rhythm and tempo. I took private lessons in drumming for almost two years with a prestigious professor from my hometown and since then practice and ingenuity have been my teachers. As a session drummer, I have recorded more than 20 albums with renowned artists from the most diverse genres and styles, besides participating in musical projects for TV commercials, movies, etc.  Currently I am developing The Bongo Project, a Youtube experience where I play the bongo, traveling with this instrument to uncharted musical landscapes achieving a broad reception among internet users. My first instructional DVD, Reggae For Drumset, is distributed worldwide through Hudson Music.
