Ranferi Aguilar comes to the San Francisco Bay Area with his new group Los Hacedores de Lluvia (The Rain Makers). The group focuses on traditional and fusion music that reconstructs the sounds of the Mayan culture with melodies created for traditional wind and percussion instruments blended with the guitar creating new arrangements of ancient sounds. His fusion of modern and pre-Hispanic sounds proposes a subjective communion with the spiritual world. Ana Nitmar will begin the evening along with Berkeley based Ixim Tinamit (People of Corn) Marimba Ensemble. Guatemalan musician and teacher, Julio Landoni will present a wide variety of musical genres that will be played by his marimba ensemble. The performance promises to display the marimbas versatility, featuring musical genres as diverse as the waltz, bolero, cumbia, 6X8, vocal arrangements as well as the Son Guatemalteco.

ARTIST INFORMATION
BRIDGING THE ANCIENT AND THE CONTEMPORARY
This year Ranferi Aguilar and Ana Nitmar join the Festival for an exceptional, evocative concert. These two Guatemalan artists will present an evening of music that highlights the unique and rich Guatemalan musical heritage.
Ana Nitmar will begin the evening along with Berkeley based Ixim Tinamit (People of Corn) Marimba Ensemble. Guatemalan musician and teacher, Julio Landoni will present a wide variety of musical genres that will be played by his marimba ensemble. The performance promises to display the marimbas versatility, featuring musical genres as diverse as the waltz, bolero, cumbia, 6X8, vocal arrangements as well as the Son Guatemalteco. A vast complex of musical styles based on triple-meter rhythm, will be explored throughout the program. The nature of marimba performance emphasizes the act of creating music as a collaborative effort. To underscore this idea, the ensemble will perform a combination of folkloric and popular, music arranged for the standard seven person marimba, upright bass, and drums. The musical performance will be enhanced by the collaboration of East Bay Area Guatemalan Folkloric Dancers.
