Toccata & fuga My life in a nutshell |
||
|
3. Millero Congo Colombia |
 |
Cartagena, 1989 |
With my Colombian wife, singer/songwriter
Leonor, we settled in Cartagena, a gem of a colonial city on the Caribbean
Coast of Colombia. With her and our sons David
and Shangó I founded in
1986 the first ethnic drumming school in the country and the experimental
Afro Caribbean acoustic fusion group Millero Congo. Our eleven years (5
in Cartagena, then 6 in Barranquilla) of pioneering work both with the
school and the music group were a unique training and maturing period
for the fruits to come, both collectively and separately, to my ever growing
Millero Congo mission.
