About the artist:

"Hi, I am Adan Rodriguez.
I'm originally from Cuba. However I have been living in Hamburg, Germany, for over 30 years for making music and some other personal reasons.

Since the beginning of my arrival in Hamburg I made contact with other musicians because my goal was to make music, which is what I like and especially the music of my country.

For a long time I have been making music with different musicians and bands and I have chosen percussion as a base to teach. I have worked as a percussionist in several musical groups and I have also worked in musical projects with children and teenagers, I have also taught private lessons and percussion workshops.

Percussion is one of the musical branches that is most used in the music of my country, Cuba...we have a very rich and variable music in rhythms where the percussion elements stand out notably.

Besides being a percussionist, I also play other instruments such as the trumpet and guitar, I am a teacher of Caribbean and Latin dances and also a DJ.

My musical spectrum is very variable because I play several musical genres such as Jazz, Bossa Nova, Latin music, Pop music and Afro music.

I have performed my music at numerous events such as Christmas parties, Birthday parties, Weddings and other special events."
