Tony Vacca's World Rhythms Productions is powered by a consortium of musicians whose collective skills have created a wide range of programs. These include concert performances at Jazz and World Music festivals, recordings, videos, and "hands-on" educational workshops, master classes, and concerts.
Combining elements of traditional African and Afro-Cuban rhythms with the American born tradition of innovation, they create a sound that is both elegant and slamming. It's the hypnotic and powerful sound of giant West African balafons; the urban bite of alto saxophone; the dreamy lyricism of electric violin; the funk and magic of electric bass, along with special guests African Dancer Sekou Sylla (former member of Les Ballet Africains), and Senegalese master of the tama or talking drum Massamba Diop (who is a member of Baaba Maal's world famous band).
