Event Date/Time: 

Saturday, September 25, 2021 - 7:30pm

Caminhos Cruzados is a musical collective that brings together Dan Balmer’s electric guitar with flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp and master Ghanaian drummer/percussionist Israel Annoh. Hulskamp also co-leads and plays oud with the band Seffarine, and Annoh has been an in-demand drummer in Portland for years, playing with Michael Allen Harrison and Thara Memory among others. While each member brings a host of experiences and interests to the table, the sound they’ve developed has mainly coalesced around Brazilian music.

In Tree Palmedo's write-up on jazzoregon.org, Hulskamp says, “Between a flamenco guitarist, a jazz guitarist, and a West African drummer, it kind of makes sense, with the techniques that we use on nylon string guitar, Dan’s improvisations and really expressive melodies, and Israel’s deep polyrhythms. We all like each other a lot, and respect what’s different about each other’s approach to this music.”
