About the Author, Ricardo Hambra:
.
I am basically a Music fan. I’ve listened to lots of beautiful music from everywhere. Having said that, my musical studies and professional experience as a musician, percussionist and singer, have taken me to many parts of the world, bringing me into contact with a rich variety of cultures and musical currents.

I've been studying and doing research about Ethnic and Modern music for many years, through under-graduate studies, workshops, masterclasses, traveling around the world, and learning from teachers and local artists in their towns.

India, Africa, Middle East, Eastern and Western Europe, North, Central and South America, Australia, Asia. It is an invaluable experience what is possible to learn and also share through music and different cultures of the world. Maybe I should describe my musical influences by stages:


I started to play music at 3 when my parents bought me a Bombo Legüero, an ethnic Argentinean Percussion instrument; then at 13 one of my uncles made me a present of a Drum set, which was a big push for a further career as a percussionist.

Soon after came my first Rock and Blues high school band. After that, Symphonic Rock, Jazz Rock, Jazz Fusion, Funk, Pop and Reggae music came to my attention.

Then I discovered India, which was definitely a decisive influence in both my music career and personal life. It is because of this influence that I am able to achieve the production of this method, and I am very grateful for it.

Nevertheless, I kept my original empathy for world music styles. I have traveled around Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Mexico and USA, learning different styles like: Tango, Samba, Bossa, Latin Salsa, Afro Cuban and Andean music, plus Jazz, Blues, Country, etc. All of this was of great influence.

Later I started to do more research about Eastern Europe and Mediterranean music, and I worked playing Middle-eastern, Greek, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Sepharadic, Celtic and especially Spanish Flamenco music, touring with several music and Dance groups for many years during my time in Spain.

By the time of the conclusion of Tabla for All, I spend most of the time in Los Angeles, USA as a performing musician, composer, producer and teacher, leading my own music school World Music Study Center, and music productions company, Ethnic Fusion Sound.
