Gina Ferrera fuses folkloric polyrhythm with electronic music using a multi-dimensional MIDI drum controller, called the trapKAT and a 4-octave MIDI mallet keyboard, called malletKAT.  Triggering live loops in a style termed, IDD- “Intelligent dance-drumming”, her live hybrid set-up is comprised of traditional percussion, improvised loop control, vocal effects and drumming on her custom Alternate Mode MIDI trapKAT to create electro-organic ethno-techno.

           

“Gina Ferrera is one of those artists that comes along every once and awhile that combines genres so well it stuns listeners. Gina brings a lifetime of education and knowledge about traditional gyil music mixed with the current state of music (electronic resources/ popular culture know-how/ and wonderful taste in influences.”  (L. Marks, Ropeadope)
