Award winning percussionist and composer Robin Layne has put together a stellar group of musicians for this project that released its debut record in May 2018. The band features Malcolm Aiken on trumpet/flugelhorn, Liam MacDonald on percussion, Derek DiFilippo on bass, Daniel Ruiz on drums, and Robin Layne on marimba/percussion.
With roots in jazz, Latin and African traditions this groove heavy ensemble delivers music that will uplift your spirit and put a smile on your face. Since forming in 2015 the band has been filling dance floors around Vancouver and performing at festivals across BC and beyond. Festival highlights include Arts Wells Festival, The Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Carnaval Del Sol, Blessed Coast, Winterruption, and Burning Man.
Well known as a percussionist with groups such as Locarno, Mazacote and Tambura Rasa, Robin is devoted to bringing the marimba into the spotlight with this project and showcasing the diversity and richness of this uncommon instrument. The marimba's history dates back to one of the earliest melodic instruments known to humans and Robin continues to pursue inspiration from all sources for his compositions.
