Robin Layne and the Rythm Makers
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.
"Deep dance vibes suitable for any crowd."
Vancouver International Jazz Festival
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.
"Marimba is probably the most sensual and harmonious of all percussion
instruments and Robin Layne one of its best ambassadors."
Marc Fournier / Music Journalist/ host at CBC Radio Canada
