with Mike Spiro - Spirology y su Batanzón
La Peña Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94705
Lukumi rhythms, drums and songs are mixed withstrings, flute and piano, and traditional danzones are played over the bata drums instead of the normal Latin percussion battery. The blending of these styles creates a unique musical adventure, one in which you can of course dance all night, or you can listen and appreciate the textures and timbres of this new and creative ensemble.
