Mark Guiliana Beat Music

Jazz concert by Mark Guiliana Beat Music as part of the Villanos del Jazz cycle, with an approach that combines the jazz tradition with electronica and contemporary rhythms.

Mark Guiliana is a drummer, composer, producer and educator. Born in New Jersey in 1980, he is the founder of the independent label Beat Music Productions. His approach is rooted in the jazz tradition and combines it with electronic experimentation and contemporary rhythms, with soundscapes that seek new forms of expression.

Over the course of his career he has worked with artists such as David Bowie, Brad Mehldau, Avishai Cohen, St. Vincent, Pearl Jam and Matisyahu, which reflects his ability to move between different genres. He has more than fifteen albums as leader or co-leader and around 35 works as a collaborator. His music has been compared to a blend of the rhythmic power of Elvin Jones and Art Blakey, the electronic foundations of an 808 drum machine and the influences of J Dilla and Squarepusher.

Live, the approach combines technical virtuosity, creativity and emotion, with jazz improvisation and electronic experimentation coexisting on stage. Sala Villanos hosts concerts and shows in Madrid, and this concert is part of the new edition of the Villanos del Jazz cycle.
