Marimba y Bombo Leguero by Horacio Strijer

Horacio Straijer's MARIMBA Y BOMBO LEGUERO is a surprisingly relaxing mix of minimalist jazz and Argentinean folk music of many kinds; including Andean, a style of music usually associated with panpipes and flutes.

Horacio Straijers' marimba playing has the crisp, clear sound of a classically-trained musician, but his interests and accomplishments on simple bomba drum and acoustic guitar are more rooted in folk music.

MARIMBA Y BOMBO LEGUERO should have cross-genre appeal: ethnic, jazz, easy listening, new age, classical - just about anyone seeking something different will find MARIMBA Y BOMBO LEGUERO difficult to categorize, yet fine, skilled music.
