I am a session percussionist and producer of rhythmic sections for music from the roots of Latin America.

If you want to add a Latin swing to your track, I can give it to you. I love recording songs and I'm looking for the perfect groove for each one.
I am a student of root music from Latin America. For many years there has been a cross between the percussion of these types of music and pop, jazz and funk to give some examples. Thanks to this system you can access the music from the place you want.

Jorge is my go-to percussionist for every project. As a producer, knowing you have Jorge available for sessions and remote recording is something that lets me sleep at night. Talented, trustworthy, quick and with great atention to detail. Throw at any rhythm, he’ll make it sound legit. Working with him is always a blast. He gets the job done.
