Rolando Matias

Close to a decade ago, Rolando Matias founded The Afro-Rican Ensemble, with a vision and direction the Ensemble followed to national and international recognition. As an entertainer and musician, Matias cannot be denied: a multi-talented percussionist, Afro-Caribbean musicologist, ethno-foklorist and an accomplished harmonica player.   Matias has traveled the U.S. playing in a wide variety of groups, performing everything from the blues to Latin rock, and everything in between.
