The Peruvian drummer and Percussionist Alex Acuña, in his visit in Budapest at the workshop,  he leaves us a good times, memories and of course, a lot of teachings that were, at least personally, more than just technics and information,  was also the pleasure, the joy and even make us realize the luck to play percussion that at the end is the foundation of the basic music expression. when we play we need to count , yes! but mostly count with others and with the music it self, thats gives the real smooth and pleasure to play, and then we all can spread this joy to others. 

Thank you Karcsi and Ethnosound to make this happen! 

 Thank you Alex, hope to see you again!
