It’s the final of three concerts in percussionist Hugo Cruz’s Voice of the Drums series! Hugo Cruz began his Voice of the Drums project in 2022, with the vision of using the drums—a centuries-old instrument and a key instrument in many cultures—to bring together musicians from different backgrounds. One great show after another, Hugo has curated performances with some of the best musicians the music scene has to offer. In June, he collaborated with the legendary Roger Humphries; in July, he worked with James Johnson III; and this August, for the series finale, Hugo will take the stage with vocalist Chantal Joseph. Together with the band, the pair will fuse classic tunes with the Cuban drum tradition, which has influences from Africa, China, Russia, and Western Art Music.
