Apama

About Me

Apama is an improvising trio composed of pianist and composer Ricardo Gallo, guitarist Alejandro Florez and bassist Tom Blancarte. The name Apama comes from the scientific name for the giant Australian cuttlefish, sepia apama. The cuttlefish serves as an excellent namesake; it has a large brain, speed, the ability to change colors rapidly, three hearts, ten arms, and an altogether weird appearance.
