Percussion Discussion is a weekly percussion program that features performances and mini-clinics from top Latin percussionists based in the Bronx.
The June 10, 2020 clinic, called “Semilia En Clave La Marace De La Bomba,” features Norka Hernandez Nadal who, in addition to being a percussionist and singer, is also a dancer, poet and specialist, particularly when it comes to utilizing the Maraca in Bomba music. While the Maraca looks like a simple instrument to play, Ms. Nadal discusses its role in Bomba music (where it is often utilized by the lead singer) and several of its rhythmic patterns.

This is the ninety third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Guitarist Juanma Trujillo was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, worked with local musicians, moved to Los Angeles in 2005 and has been part of the jazz and improvised music scene in New York since 2014, developing his own sound and approach to playing avant-garde music.
Violinist Leonor Falcón was classically trained in her native Venezuela But, while she performed in chamber music groups as a teenager, she became very interested in improvisation, working with jazz, pop, rock and Latin groups.
After studying in Switzerland during 2007-10, Falçon moved to New York and continued her studies in addition to working with a wide assortment of musicians including Willie Colon, Akua Dixon, Arturo O’Farrill’s Latin Jazz Orchestra and Karl Berger.
On their LiveStream of June 10, 2020, the duo of Falcón and Trujillo performs three pieces from the guitarist’s Folklore CD (“Crónica,” “Espacio,” and “Rumia”) plus “Interludio,” the latter has the pair singing a folk melody together before briefly playing it.
Otherwise, the explorative music is somber yet explosive, thoughtful yet sometimes quite dense with the violinist’s lyrical lead being joined by electronic sounds from Trujillo.
The duo explores several moods, follows each other’s directions, and creates haunting and atmospheric music.

Review:
This is the Hundredth and thirty-first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

The Bodoma Garifuna Culture Band, which was formed in 2002, celebrates African culture through its vocal and percussion music.
The Garifuna was an African group that was originally from the Caribbean, was exiled to Honduras, and settled in Belize.
While the Garifuna Collective is sometimes as large as nine pieces, the version seen and heard in their LiveStream from May 29, 2020 consists of two singers, two percussionists and a guitarist, three of whom also dance.
This LiveStream is a sampling of what the group offers in what must be stirring live performances.
