BO RAZÓN - https://www.fb.com/borazonmusic

Bo did a presentation with us back in October 2021 on the Overview of Philippine Native Music. You can watch that on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/K_kZGtRvQuw. But this time we are featuring his own ethnofusion music from the Philippines to Cuba and beyond.

Bo Razón is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, recording artist, and educator whose experience spans more than four decades. His influences are mainly native music from North & Sub-Saharan Africa, Cuba, Southeast Asia, Brazil, the Caribbean, North America, the Iberian peninsula, and the Middle East.

Passionate about traditional music of indigenous world cultures as well as by contemporary music genres, he seeks ways in which the two may coalesce organically. His skill sets have brought him to work in a musical capacity with several global institutions of art and culture such as the British Council, the Goethe Institute, the Alliance Francaise, Instituto Cervantes, and the Philippine National Commission for Culture & the Arts. He has taught World & Afro-Latin music at the University of the Philippines, and has taught music to elementary and middle school students in California. Bo plays several stringed and skinned (percussion) instruments from diverse global cultures and has performed with many major artists from around the world in many settings and venues in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
