Saulo Giri
Saulo’s roots took him to Panama and other Latin American countries to connect with the different cultures found there.
In 2010, in San Cristóbal de las Casas (Mexico), he met the storyteller Ricardo Ruedas, who became his first mentor. They collaborated on the creation of the Cuentos Vagamundos story and accompanying album of songs and music.
Saulo explored the corners of the Panamanian countryside searching for poets, musicians and storytellers who could share a little of their fire-in-the-belly.
Hypnotized by the rhythms of Latin America, Saulo set out to explore the continent’s musical heartlands and learn to play various types of drums, while discovering where each instrument comes from and why it’s played.
