About Scott Kettner
When Scott Kettner looks at a map, he sees a direct line that connects the rivers of northeast Brazil to the parishes of New Orleans and the streets of NYC. A master percussionist, bandleader, producer, and songwriter, Kettner is the guiding force behind Nation Beat, a band whose teeming, vibrant rhythms find common ground in the rhythms of Brazil’s northeastern region, the Big Easy’s funky, hypnotic Second Line and strolling Mardi Gras Indians, and the unfettered freedom of big-city downtown jazz. www.scottkettner.com
About the book
“In his new book, The Essential Pandeiro Method, he clearly demonstrates his step-by-step process to developing the fundamental skills needed to play the pandeiro in a highly musical and fluid way. I’ve practiced some of Scott’s methods myself and I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about learning the wonderful art of playing pandeiro.” – Stanton Moore (druJoin us to celebrate the release of master percussionist Scott Kettner‘s new book, “The Essential Pandeiro Method,” on Saturday, July 2 at Eaton DC community room in downtown DC.
