Ryan Taylor Anderson

Ryan is part of a new generation of musicians bent on breaking geographical, spiritual and musical boundaries through a deep study and understanding of traditional forms from West Africa and the Caribbean. His sound has been described as revolutionary, intrinsic, up beat and energetic. Ryan's sound is a mix of indigenous rhythms fused with his own style of soul inspired drumming. His playing is modern, new age, progressive as well as healing and moving. The drumming Ryan displays is powerful and gets all who hear it moving. He becomes a one man band of percussion and vocalization and also involves the audience in creating music with him.
