Garcia was invited by drummer Malik Sow,
representing the drumming traditions of Africa
to play a tlapan huehuetl
(MEXICA/AZTECA) drum of THE AMERICAS)
originally from the MAYAN tradition
and going back to 790 A.D.
(see pics for additional info)
unfortunately,
Garcia was the only drummer invited there to represent the
indigenous drumming traditions of THE AMERICAs
not at the behest of THE MUSIC CENTER,
but at the behest of drummer Malik Sow
SIDENOTE
while most of the world is familiar with drums and drumming traditions of
AFRICA
ASIA
LATIN AMERICA
few have seen and/or heard or EXPERIENCED the drumming traditions of
MESOAMERICA
even though the instruments continue to be played by thousands of modern day practitioners
