Fausto Cuevas

[ABAKUA]

Fausto Cuevas, percussionist for Brittney, Timba Loca, Stevie Wonder and many more, Pearl endorsee is heading to town with Stevie Wonder next week.
Through a local percussionist brother of mine who has been touring with 'Burn The Floor', he has hooked up some lessons with Fausto while he is in town.
I am thinking of attending a private one on one workshop with him.
Have any of you guys had the pleasure of studying/jamming or performing with the brother? Please share your experiences.

Fausto Cuevas is a native of Brownsville, Texas, where he began playing drums at the age of 11. He continued throughout grade and high school, making his way to Boston's Berklee College of Music, where he discovered his love for percussion and studied with Giovanni Hidalgo and Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez.

From Boston, Fausto traveled to Los Angeles where he currently resides.

In addition to performances at the famed Playboy Jazz Festival and The Blue Note in New York City, Fausto has recorded, performed and toured with artists & projects ranging from Latin to Legend, including Julio Iglesias, Celia Cruz, Teena Marie, Cheo Feliciano, Al Jarreau, Tito Nieves, Nestor Torres, Roy Hargrove, and Britney Spears (who he joined for her Onyx Hotel 2004 World Tour). Fausto recently completed the Sugarwater Festival with Queen Latifah and the High School Musical - The Concert Tour; performed at the World Music and Lady of Soul Music Awards with Sheila E and Amerie; the City of Hope Benefit with Rickey Minor Band and Taylor Hicks; and the Tobago Jazz Festival with Natalie Cole, Vanessa Williams, Patti LaBelle, Najee, and Johnny Gil.

I've seen Fausto perform and jam also
at the NAMM show a few years ago.
He's one of the better players in LA
and moved up very fast in his
professional career.
