About Me


Quinto Piso is a project started by two Latin American musicians who recently relocated to Berlin. The music is firmly based on improvisation and simplicity, and is a fusion of their various influences.
Enrique Castro - percussion (México 1977)
Started playing piano at the age of seven in Mexico, his homeland, and drums at 14. In 2000 he obtained a B.A. in Music specializing in percussion performance from Universidad de las Americas Puebla (Mexico). In 2004 he received the Fulbright Scholarship to study a MA in Percussion and Composition at New York University and graduated in 2006.
In January of 2008 he arrived in Berlin looking for new professional opportunities. He is a percussionist and plays the marimba, drumset, and different types of drums from around the world.

Ernesto Schnack – guitar (Panama 1976)
