"A potent mix of Latin American folk music and jazz" -- SF Chronicle

Quijeremá is a dynamic force driven by sweeping bandola choruses with a firm foundation of acoustic bass and the deep reverberations of the Cajon, a Peruvian "beat box." Melodies are based in the percussion, interwoven with trumpet and the complex rhythm of Venezuelan maracas.Quijeremá's current work Al Son del Tunduki is a musical journey to unearth and celebrate the importance of the African Diaspora in the Americas.
