A drummer and a percussionist. Interests include jazz, funk and world music. My main concentration over the last several years has been music from Brazil, Cuba, Zimbabwe and West African countries.
One of my things is a Brazilian music group based in Madison, WI called "Saboroso"

We perform in the greater Madison area and we are regulars at Restaurant Magnus and other local venues and festivals.
Another group I'm just starting up is something that I have been working on for over five years. It is based around seven African marimbas and includes percussion from Brazil, Cuba and West Africa. It's called The Serevende Marimba Ensemble.

My instruments include, (not in any particular order after drum set):
Drum set, congas, timbales, cajon, djembe, shekere, djun djuns, pandeiro, cuica, surdos, repinique, caixa, tamborim, tan tan/rebolo, triangle, caixixi, berimbau, reco reco, chocalho, and lots of little shaker thingys.
I also have bata drums, a vibraphone and several African marimbas. For the time being, they mock me.
