Jos\u00e9 \/ beFore John 5<\/p>\n
Aurel Hollo<\/p>\n
4 percussionists<\/p>\n
Aur\u00e9l Holl\u00f3: member of the Hungarian Amadinda Percussion Quartet: appointed teacher of B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k Conservatory Budapest. Besides percussion, he graduated in composition as well. Well known percussion soloist.<\/p>\n
The composition Jos\u00e9 \/ beFore John 5 fuses very different folk music styles into one piece. We can see and hear a Marimba that is played from both sides in a hoketus style, which is very common in the ugandan Amadinda music. We hear an Udu drum from India, a Cajon from Latin America, a spanish guitar played with sticks, burmese gongs, african talking drums and a sudanese reed instrument. Further instruments used are a crow call, devil chasers, a police whistle, tambourines, crotales and castagnettes. Together this influences create a powerfull, rhythmic driven piece of music that tries to show the differences, but also the similarities percussion music form all over the world.<\/p>\n
