Today we release part 2 of our interview with Bobby Sanabria. He’s a noted drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, conductor, producer, educator, documentary film maker, and bandleader. He’s a 7-time Grammy nominee who has performed with dozens of renowned artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria,  Bob Mintzer, and Randy Brecker.  If you’re at all interested in Latin Percussion over the past 75 years, or what it takes to be a productive arts entrepreneur, you’ll want to join us!

​In this episode:
We weave through Bobby's personal journey from escaping gang culture in New York City to spreading his love for Latin music in college. We then travel through the fascinating connection of Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz. As we stroll through the vibrant stories of the Machito Orchestra and Duke Ellington, Bobby reveals his belief that rhythm is the pulse of music – if you appreciate the rhythm, you embrace the music. As we navigate through the endless possibilities in the musical multiverse, we delve into the modern musicians' world who masterfully blend various musical styles and create unique rhythms, demonstrating the beauty of diversity in music.

Finally, we take a cinematic turn as Bobby illuminates his experience with the film West Side Story, reflecting on the critical role of historical accuracy in movies. We discuss the art of entrepreneurship in the music industry, pondering  how to make the arts more accessible. Drawing inspiration from the legendary jazz musician Buddy Rich, we delve into the passion and dedication required in the pursuit of music. As we wrap up our musical journey, Bobby leaves us with an inspiring note - the importance of perseverance and the power of never giving up. Prepare to be moved by this rhythmically rich and heartwarming conversation with Bobby Sanabria!
