About Josué

Josh BeatsJosué De Las Salas · drummer

Josué De Las Salas plays today's jazz from Barranquilla, Colombia, with the music of the Colombian Caribbean built into the way he keeps time, not added as color. Sound, interplay and time are what he cares about, and the trio is where he feels at home. He plays festivals and theaters across Colombia, records in the studio and in live sessions, teaches young drummers and is a Bosphorus Cymbals ambassador.

Three pillars

  1. Sound and time

    Sound before speed: how each stroke rings, where the pulse sits and how it breathes with the band.

  2. Jazz with a Caribbean accent

    Contemporary jazz language with the rhythms and ideas of the Colombian Caribbean inside it, seamlessly.

  3. From trio to tour

    Trio, acoustic settings, electric projects, studio and road: the format changes, the voice doesn't.
