The international percussion festival has for 10 years been staged in Guanare. But due to the situation in the country the11th edition has been moved to Caracas. The festival is a great accomplishment of Acuarius Zambrano as artistic director. His wife Francimar Diaz is taking part in arranging and administrating the project. Together with the former percussion players in Simon Bolivar Orchestra they formed the Latin American Percussion Academy.
The Percussion Academy was the last of the El Sistema academies to be formed and has been very important in the development and progression of the percussive eduaction as well as broadening the repertoir for ensembles. Roger has been happy and grateful to have been able to share his knowledge and ideas during these years.
Now Roger is appointed as guest professor for three coming years. It is a great honour and of course he is looking forward to work for the Academy.
