JESUS ANDUJAR
Master Percussionist
Mr. Andujar was born in the Dominican Republic. He developed his
timing, rhythm, tempo and his ear for music while working on the
farms. He peeled rice, using a big piece of wood with a hole in it,
using his hands to smash the rice. This is when he developed his
extraordinary talent for playing drums with bands in the Dominican
Republic and becoming a great percussionist.
He went to New York City and studied at the New York Collective
Drumming School, with the likes of Bobby Sanabria, Ricky Sebastian
and Mike Clark. Later, he relocated to Puerto Rico, where he played
with various, well known, Island groups like Grupo Wao, Bonny Cepeda,
etc.
Mr. Andujar and his band, Grupo Sazon, an incredibly talented group
of musicians, continue to play in the New England area, especially in
the State of Rhode Island.
