Over the past decade and a half, Juno nominated percussionist Robin Layne has steeped himself in rhythmic traditions around the world, from Cuba, West Africa, Mexico and beyond. He brings these influences to bear in his compositions that are inspired by his travels. Robin is one of Vancouver’s busiest percussionists and has graced the Harrison stage with several ensembles, including Locarno who are also playing the festival this year. His Rhythm Makers project displays his passion and virtuosity on the marimba, with a groove-heavy lineup that includes Daniel Ruiz on drums, Jocelyn Waugh on trumpet, Liam MacDonald on percussion, and Wynston Minckler on bass.
