Ritmo Inferno

If you think it is impossible to form a band with eight drummers, think again...

This group is formed by drummers and percussionists from around the world. Senegal, Venezuela, Iran, Bangladesh, Germany, Holand and Surinam are some of the different native countries of the musicians of this interesting proyect. 

The leader of this group is Lucas van Merwijk. He comes from the Netherlands and has studied almost every rythm and percussion around the world. From cuban rythms to electronic beats, from jazz to salsa, Lucas is a very complete percussionist with a keen eye for world talents. 

Lucas is the band leader of four ensembles:
