“Carols and Villancicos: Christmas with the sound of Marimba”
Electropercussion Concert
The Electropercussion Music Project begins its activities in 2014 in the city of Toluca, México. Its main goal is to introduce the sound of the marimba (traditional keyboard instrument from the south of México and made with tropical woods) and the Double bass as their main melodic instruments. The two performers in the duet also make all the arrangements, compositions and perform the traditional styles and rhythms from Mexico together with jazz, improvisation, classical and contemporary music and the use of the latest technology available in their instruments, creating a mixture that is new and imaginative in nature.
They are performing for the first time in San Miguel de Allende ( and they are programming a series of concerts here with the different musical programs they perform), and they have prepared a Christmas program performed their own style, where you could hear their versions of Christmas Carols as Greensleeves, God rest ye merry Glentemen, Silver Bells, excerpts from the Nutcracker, and also Spanish carols or villancicos traditionally sung in the Mexican posadas.
