Fell? Vega, a native of Santiago De Los Caballeros, defines himself as an ?Imaginary Folklorist.? He is craftsman of rhythms and of the instruments from which he creates his music.With these Fell?-madeinstruments he exhibits in his music a strong ethnic fusion that is the result of the African, Spanish and Taino influence ever-present in the Caribbean.
Devoted to finding ?the sound of life,? Fell? has distinguished himself by his experimentation with recyclable materials and everyday objects that have percussive possibilities. These items include pails, lids, pots, and other items which he then turns into musical instruments. His use of such materials to create music has earned him, on many occasions, the title of ?musical wizard? from Dominican music critics.Fell? is percussionist, composer, inventor and instrument designer with a unique vision and style all his own. Over the course of his multi-faceted 25-year career he has shared the national and international stage with many notable artists. He has participated in numerous jazz festivals, has led several musical groups, and has served as instructor and lecturer at percussion workshops. He recently opened for Sting at his "Broken Music tour" concert in Altos de Chavon, La Romana.
