Hello, there, My name is Rik Hambra, I'm a World Percussionist & Singer, and a musical director of PERCUTI Rhythm Ensemble.
PERCUTI Rhythm Ensemble is an Ethnic Fusion - World Percussion and Chants Ensemble, with an exotic blend of sounds, rhythms and melodies. The Ensemble is comprised of world-class artists with international experience.
PERCUTI ‘s shows are a rhythmic journey around the most popular cultures.

PERCUTI Rhythm Ensemble is Ethnic Fusion music that combines the ancient world cultures; Indian-Industani, African-Senegal, Ghana Morocco, Mediterranean-Mideastern, European-Spanish, Irish, Eastern Europe; The Americas -Cuban, Andean, Brazilian, Argentinean, etc. with modern music styles like Drum n’ Bass, Electronica, Blues, Jazz and Funk, augmented by other instruments as Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Horns; and technology sources, like loops, samples and digital programming.
PERCUTI ‘s music creates an original sound, with the wisdom and beauty of the many different ancient roots that can be found as a heritage in our days.
As an example, one of the songs is a cover version of James Brown ‘I’ve Got You’ (I Feel Good), performed with Mideastern Instrumentation and rhythms.
Or an original song composed by Rik Hambra called FlaTango, which combines Spanish Flamenco, Industani Raga chant and instruments from India.
Also, an African polyrhythmic cycle called Fanga, orchestrated with African percussion instruments and digital background sounds, etc.
