Túpac Mantilla | Colombia WEB | VIDEO Colombian percussionist Túpac Mantilla is considered nowadays one of the leading forces in the contemporary rhythm world, supported by a prolific career as a sought-after performer and educator, which besides granting him a Grammy nomination, includes appearances in concert halls such as Carnegie Hall, lectures in institutions like Harvard and Stanford University and collaborations with artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Esperanza Spalding, Savion Glover and Zakir Hussain to name a few. As the artistic director and founder of Colombia’s Body Percussion troupe TEKEYÉ and the Global Percussion Network PERCUACTION, Túpac’s innovative rhythm and body percussion related methods, books and systems have benefited directly more than 100.000 people around the world.
