Kabeção Rodrigues

Carlos Rodrigues aka Kabeção is a Portuguese multi-instrumentalist, composer, street busker, sound healer, and instrument maker, who creates his own unique approach to music and sound.

Kabeção works in the genres of ethnic fusion, contemporary, and world fusion.

Kabeção started very young with percussion and rhythm, and then added other types of instruments, from strings to woodwinds, and his focus comes from the simple exploration of sound. He is self-taught and has combined influences from different parts of the world, Africa, India, Brazil, Turkey, Spain, France, Australia. Kabeção shines forth with unique playing techniques on each of his instruments, including drums, darbuka, udu, tabla, djembe, frame drum, cajon, berimbau, bansuri, sansula, tibetan bowls, gongs, didgeridoo, guitar, Hang / Handpan.

After discovering the Hang, he began building and studying intensively in order to share with others what he achieved by touching it.
