Wilber Calver - Diaspora - CD

Wilber Calver, "The Ebony Piper" was born in Holguín (Cuba). In 1997 he enlisted as a percussionist in the traditional music group of the Centro Gallego de la Habana, with whom he performed in many festivals. In 1998 he took his first bagpipe lessons with Professor Eduardo Lorenzo and it was from this moment that he fell in love with the pipes and took the decision to dedicate himself to the instrument.
With this debut album, Wilber documents music from the African diaspora through his galician bagpipes by interpreting traditional celtic melodies with an afro-centric approach, arranged and directed by keyboard maestro Alex Wilson.
