The SF Chronicle calls them “A potent mix of Latin American folk music and jazz.” Quijeremá is a dynamic force of song, story and musical virtuosity driven by sweeping bandola choruses, with a firm foundation of acoustic bass and the deep reverberations of the Cajon, a Peruvian “beat box”. Surprisingly, melodies are based in the percussion and interwoven with trumpet and the complex rhythm of Venezuelan maracas. This band has performed at festivals and intimate venues, as well as for the president of Chile. Quijeremá was also nominated by the International Documentary Association for Best Soundtrack in 2009. Their current work, Al Son del Tunduki is a musical journey to unearth and celebrate the importance of the African Diaspora in the Americas.
