I am an Anglo-Colombian graduate seeking some firey, sweaty and musical downtime. I've been playing percussion since I was a young child, and have been performing since I was 11. I was brought up playing traditional music from the Carribean coast of Colombia, playing the Bombo, and the Tambor Alegre. Now I am heavily involved with Son, Salsa, Guaguanco (amongst many more) and am looking to progress on the Congas. My love of music has developed with the many influences I've had through my family's musical background.
