LILIANA ZAVALA

Percussionist & Singer 


Rhythm has always been a way of expressing myself. The music came to me through dance and my dad who taught me to play bombo when I went to folk music dance lessons when I was 9 years old (in Argentina, where I come from and grew up).


Parallel to my studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Argentina, I started playing congas when I was 18 years old and since then there have been a thousand teachers, a thousand drums and rhythms from and around the world!


Among other things, I have lived in Cuba and in general I have immersed myself in Afro-Latin rhythms and traditions.


In Sweden I have studied at KMH and have played in many different creative projects such as Vasily Percusion, Zarandea, Fever ray, Alina Devecerski, Thomas Gylling Mosquito club, and various television shows in Sweden. I currently play with Golbang, Xenomania- Ale Möller, Liliana Zavala Trio where I compose too and Beat Company of course!
