Rubem Dantas - Celebration (CD)

Rubem Dantas, Brazilian percussionist and composer and pioneer of the flamenco cajón, presents 'Festejo'.

His first solo album combines flamenco with other music from around the world. It is a multi-disciplinary album, with more than thirty collaborators as special as...

Paco de Lucía (of whose sextet he was a member), Chick Corea, Jorge
Pardo, Joaquín Grilo or Chano Domínguez.

This work reveals one of the lesser-known facets of the Brazilian, that of composer, which until now had only been admired by those attending his most personal concerts.

Creations that combine rhythms from a wide variety of music, a special sensitivity and a taste for the broader concept of sound that confirm, once again, that Rubem Dantas is, as the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo would say, “Being is music.”
