Classical Sundays: Instruments of the People

Instruments Of the People (IOP), formed in 2009 by Francisco Roldán and Danny Mallon, encompasses the global pairing of guitar and percussion throughout the ages. These easily obtainable instruments allowed a way for people to gather together and create music in communities around the world. IOP is a reflection of this living tradition and the people who continue to create a rich tapestry of musical culture.

Internationally celebrated musicians, Roldán (guitar) and Mallon (percussion), come together to create a multicultural music experience. Instruments Of the People showcases a variety of styles including Bambuco, Blues, Danza, Joropo, Porro, Tango and more! This eclectic duo features music from Brazil, Columbia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, France, Haiti, Spain, the United States of America and Venezuela. All welcome!
