Tony Vacca in Concert

Date/Time

Location

Mt. Toby Friends Meeting (194 Long Plain Rd., Rte. 63, Leverett, MA 01054, Leverett MA)

Tony Vacca’s solo performances are a nearly non-stop athletic spectacle of percussion music and spoken word. He incorporates percussion instruments from a world of traditions that includes African, Caribbean, Asian and Middle-Eastern influences.

     Using giant West African balafons, over twenty incredible Paiste gongs, djembe, djun-djun, talking drums and an outrageous percussion drumset, Tony Vacca has created a unique blend of rhythm, word, and drum that has come to be the signature of his work.

     Over the course of his career, he has made a habit of pushing the already adventurous conventions of World Music into new territory. He is part of a wave of 21st century musicians whose work has fueled the rediscovery of the power of the drum, and the power of music to build global common ground.

This will be an outdoor show. In case of rain, it will be held indoors.

Suggested donation: $15 to $25
