NYC-based Afro-Cuban percussionist/vocalist Pedrito Martinez will be joined by his bandmates Ariacne Trujillo on keyboard and vocals, Alvaro Benavides on electric bass and vocals, and Jhair Sala on percussion and vocals.
Their shows ignite a devoted fan base that has spread to include Eric Clapton, Taj Mahal, Roger Waters, and Wynton Marsalis. The ensemble has its roots planted firmly in the rumba tradition, and revels in the bata rhythms and vocal chants of Yoruban and Santeria music.
