Tekeye :: Colombian Experiemental Percussion Group

http://microfundo.com
As a typical curious kid I discover the amazing world of rhythm and music behind ordinary objects. As a professional musician I just decided to keep having fun with it! It all started ten years ago with a simple tin can trick: You start the groove, you take it, you flip it over and you put it back to where it was! Simple right? Just as simple as bouncing and catching a basketball, sweeping the floor in 4/4 time or slapping your body while stomping the ground. That is TEKEYE! A combination of sounds, stories and grooves that explores the universal essence of Rhythm.

We grew up in an environment where rhythm is everywhere and comes from so many different places and sources. Africa on the pacific coast, the Caribbean up in the north, Brazil and the Andes in the south, the plains on the east. All these influences made a huge impact on us, and definitely make a difference to what TEKEYE is and projects. Every sketch and rhythm carries not only the Colombian traditional roots, but also the combination of everyones own influences in the group.

We're coming to Boston from Columbia to perform at the New England Conservatory. We need your help to get there! Contribute and get some online lessons in body and found object percussion from group leader Tupac Mantilla - and then come play with us!
