Carlos Rodrigues aka Kabeção is a Portuguese musician, hang/handpan player, percussionist, composer, street performer and instrument maker. His work stretches across ethnic fusion, contemporary music and world fusion. Starting with percussion and rhythm as a young child, he eventually added other instruments, especially strings and winds. Self-taught, he mixes influences from different areas of the world: Africa, India, Brazil, Tukey, Spain, France and Australia. Kabeção uses special techniques, combining instruments such as drums, darbuka, udu, tabla, djembe, frame drums, cajon, berimbau, bansuri, sansula, tibetan bowls, gongs, didgeridoo, guitar and Hang/Handpan. Since 2008, he has been collaborating on projects such as Tribolados (Reggae / Ska), Hikari (Tambor n'Bass / Selva / Bossa Nova) and T3ka (Acoustic Trance). Currently, he is involved in two other projects: Gapura (Klezmer / Jazz) and Khayalan Trio (Ethnic / Contemporary / World Music). His first solo EP High Gain Natural Awakening was released in 2012. In March 2014, he released his first album Cosmic Seed, which brings together several works he has developed over the past few years.
