Technical Rider

PERCUJOVE (Spain): Percussion Orchestra of the Youth from Valencia Percujove is the most known Spanish youth percussion orchestra. It consists of 25 students of the José Iturbi Conservatorium from Valencia. During the last five summers the orchestra has been touring in various European countries. They offer the audience an exceptional musical experience that only a big percussion group can create.

Enjoy the wonderful music of marimbas, drums, xylophones and other percussion instruments, all spiced with Spanish temperament !!! .

They will be playing for free through villages which provide them with meals and rest, and they must have cultural and environmental valour. This will provide your villages with marvellous percussion music and will help us, europeans, to start exchanging knowledge and culture throughout the music.

Percujove has a large repertory, with classicals works (Brahms, Bach, Katchaturian, ...), actual works (A.Rife, Zimmer,...) and also typical spanish music (zarzuela, pasodoble,...)

In their concerts, Percujove try to offer a walk through all musical styles, adapted by ourselves: baroque, vals, samba, tango, foxtrot, blues,... and also zarzuela, pasodoble and other spanish and latino rythms, in a very nice way (they think so) to approach the percussion music to all kind of audience
