Four internationally acclaimed percussionists have met to found the percussion ensemble Tamburo Mundi: Andrea Piccioni (Italy), Gilson de Assis (Brazil), Murat Coskun (Turkey) and Michael Metzler (Germany).
The music of this worldwide unique combination has its common root in the frame drum, an essential ingredience of the Eurpean, South American and Oriental musical tradition.
One feels the overwhelming joy of playing and almost unlimited pleasure of discovery when these musicians beat the drum, dance and sing, together creating a completely new musical synthesis: As if it were most natural, Italian songs, Roma dances of the Balkans and oriental trance rhythms merge easily into funky hip-hop grooves and the tarantella is danced to Brazilian samba tunes.

 
Line Up:

  • Andrea Piccioni  (Italy)
  • Murat Coskun  (Turkey)
  • Gilson de Assis  (Brazil)
  • Michael Metzler (Germany)
