Bio
I am a songwriter, singer/rapper and percussionist. My instruments are djembé. conga’s, bongo’s, cajón and all kinds of small percussion. In 1982 I started to do solo-performances in the style of performing poetry and spoken word, a combination of songs, rhythmic poetry, rap with African and Latin percussion, electronic music, pop, rock, Latin music and hiphop. I performed all over the Netherlands. I played African music, Latin, fusion, world crossover with several groups, with gigs in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, the UK, Hungary and Portugal.. At the moment I have a collaboration with MB of the Rotterdam based reggaetóncrew Ghetto Flow with whom I recorded ‘Ode aan de mode’ and ‘Metro’. I am also a member of the group Bel Cante with whom I perform Spanish music with influences from flamenco, classical music and Sefardic music.
