PERSONAL STYLE AND INFLUENCE ON PERCUSSION SCENE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Quinteto Cerezo & Ritmo Continuo Salsa band
In the Netherlands, I have founded two groups: Quinteto Cerezo and Ritmo Continuo. In both projects I propose an original technique to play percussion in a salsa band: Baticonga. In my groups I am the only percussionist playing several instruments at a time. This technique has been developed in Venezuela since the 1980s by Master Percussionist “Nene” Quintero and has been introduced to the Netherlands by myself.
