Tambuco Percussion Ensemble
Three time GRAMMY Nominees including Best Classical Album, Tambuco, was founded in 1993 by four distinguished Mexican musicians and it is ranked among the finest and most innovative percussion ensembles in the world.

These four musicians refuse to be tied down to one style, with a repertoire ranging from structuralist percussion music to a wide range of ethnic drum music and avante garde sound interpretation. The one constant is their desire for perfection and unique, virtuoso performance. The musicians of "Tambuco" use all conceivable and inconceivable means to realize their musical ideas.

Tambuco has been awarded with many distinctions and prizes from international cultural organizations. Tambuco has offered concerts in four continents. They have performed in the USA (Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center), Tokyo (Ino Hall), London (Barbican Centre), Paris and Montpellier (Festival de Radio France), Australia (Quennsland Music Festival) Shanghai (Oriental Arts Centre) plus concerts in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Cuba, Colombia, Brasil, Uruguay, Argentina and Canada, as well as practically all the concert halls of Mexico.

Tambuco has collaborated with world renown soloists and conductors. As solo ensemble, Tambuco has performed and recorded with ensembles and orchestras such as Kronos Quartet, The Michael Nyman Band, Orchestre Philharmonique de Montpellier, Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México, Orquesta Sinfónica de Guanajuato, , La Camerata, Orchestra de Catania and Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra, amongst others. To date, Tambuco has recorded 7 CDs. Its album: Carlos Chavez Complete Chamber Music, received two GRAMMY nominations: Best Classical Album and Best Small Chamber Ensemble as well as a Latin GRAMMY nomination for Best Latin Classical Album. It's Album "Rítmicas", was selected by Audiophile Audition as one of the best CDs of the year . Tambuco recorded also with Kronos Quartet on their Grammy nominated album "Nuevo". _______________________________________________________________________
