NACHO ARIMANY (percussion) Before moving to the USA in 2009, Nacho Arimany was chiefly known as one of Spain’s most sought after Flamenco percussionists.

When asked to form a percussion group, he introduced to Flamenco the use of a gourd from Mali as a percussion instrument. Academies, tablaos and baile were his school and he collaborated with Joaquín Cortés, Gerardo Nuñez and Rocio Molina, along with many of Spain’s hottest Flamenco dancers and artists.
