Muruga Booker

Muruga Booker is a percussionist with an incredible list of credits, from jazz to rock, world beat to techno-rave. In the 90s, he was part of Merl Saunder's Rainforest Band, recording with Jerry Garcia, did a CD with Babatunde Olatunji and Sikiru called "Cosmic Rhythm Vibrations", and played with his own band, The Global Village Ceremonial Band, featuring ex-Big Brother guitarist James Gurley. Muruga graced the Starwood stage in 2000 and we hope he'll be back soon.

Drumplay
http://www.drumplay.com

Drumplay is an improvisational percussion trio inspired by Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Middle Eastern rhythms. Whether in performance, workshop or educational presentation, no two Drumplay concerts are alike. Traditional rhythms, combined with an improvisational bent, bring forth the spirit of something new, and in a jazz way, gives the music more space in which to resound.
