Side by Side Percussion Duo

Contemporary-modern music group formed by percussionists Julia Ramos and Marco Díaz.

19/11/2022

2022 is being very special to us. We were able to play a concert tour in the north of the Netherlands, we recorded 3 videos and released 2 new works. We have grown personally above all, and we are getting better connection on and off stage. Next year will bring us new challenges…and we are prepared for it.

18/11/2022

Did you miss us? Here we come with another piece from the one and only James Larter. Watch this video, give it some love, and share!!

🪘Verdant rainforests, colorful tribes and ancient rituals form the inspiration for 'Goroka'. The dance-like motifs of this piece illustrate the composer's fascination with the magical island of Papau New Guinea and its secrets that we may never understand.

🥁Special thanks to Kunstraad Groningen, Rik van den Heuvel, Martín Regaña Barroso & José Luis Andrés ❤️

💥 NEW VIDEO 💥
This is such a special project we have, guys…as most of you know, we are two Spanish percussionists living in The Netherlands, and with this new project we want to bring up some classical Spanish music to people from outside our mother country 💃🏽
These pieces we are working on are from 19th and 20th century so, as you can imagine, composers were still not very familiar with percussion instruments 🥁(sadly). So we encourage ourselves to make our own arrangements of the pieces from very important Spanish composers, who gave a new meaning to the music nationalism in our country. One of these important guys we are talking about was Isaac Albéniz, and this is his piece Sevilla.
🎵We hope you enjoy this music, and we promise to bring you more very soon!🎵

PS: if you want to see a funny mustache, check out Isaac Albéniz in google images 👨🏻
