Native of Uruapan, Michoacán, Jorge Reyes studied classical music and jazz in Germany and then went to India to absorb the Hindu and Tibetan tradtions. He brings all these influences (plus a host of unusual instruments) to bear on his idiosyncratic evocations of the Mesoamerican soundscape.
His concerts generally last an hour and a half uninterrupted and are designed to be experienced as mythic-ritual ceremonies, complete with redolent clouds of copal incense and drone-like gargling. Never been to one, but looks like fun!
And the slightly scary Danza Azteca...
