With roots in rhythmic traditions around the globe this groove heavy ensemble
delivers music that transcends the bounds of tradition, blurring the lines between
jazz and folk as they carve out new territory for the marimba at the forefront of the
sonic landscape.

Over the past decade and a half percussionist Robin Layne has steeped himself in
rhythmic traditions around the world from Cuba to West Africa to Mexico and
beyond. He brings these influences to bear in his compositions that are inspired by
his travels. Robin has worked with many of Canada's finest global artists and toured
throughout China, Europe, Mexico, USA and Canada. Highlights include Nanjing Jazz
Festival, Hildesheim Jazz Festival, Victoria Jazz Fest, Arts Wells Festival, Vancouver
Island MusicFest, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Vancouver Folk Festival, Vancouver
International Jazz Festival.

This project aims to bring joy to folks through uplifting music and the stories that
connect us. This show will feature Siobhan Sloane-Seale on vocals, debuting new
original material as well as paying tribute to Calypso Rose and Siobhans Trinidian
heritage. A professional dancer and singer-songwriter, Siobhan Sloane-Seale is that
rare kind of artist whose positivity is truly irresistible.

The Rhythm Makers are renowned percussionist Liam MacDonald,
trumpeter/producer Malcolm Aiken, bassist Derek DiFilippo and drummer Daniel
Ruiz.
