Alex Weiss & Different Drum

Alex Weiss & Different Drum

Different Drum is a versatile Afro/Latin ensemble that plays world music, specializing in South African Township, Andean Melodies, Brazilian Sambas, Salsa, Calypso and Cumbia. Having performed at numerous festivals and events throughout the Carolinas, Different Drum typically devotes equal time during their performances to Jazz, Eclectic Music and Original Songs.

The band is led by Alex Weiss who developed a love for and understanding of world music during his travels across the U.S. and Mexico, through Europe and the Middle East, to North Africa and Central America. Alex plays the congas, alto recorder, coronet, flugelhorn and other instruments. He is accompanied on the congas by his Wife, Li-Lan, who also plays other percussion instruments. The group often plays in festivals, libraries, cafes and for corporate or special events. The group can be expanded to include additional instruments as required: Bass, Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Drums, Guitar.

Different Drum has become a regular in the town’s (Carrboro, NC) Entertainment Adventures family series over the years. He’s a favorite with us and the community. Alex is a multi-talented musician. He does a great family show!” – The Chapel Hill Herald, May 2003, “Multiculturalism Helps Shape Musician.”

“A lush, invigorating romp of music and poetry, percussion, flutes, voices, guitars horns, ambient forest sounds, satire, seriousness, playfulness. Prepare to be soothed, agitated, and entertained.” – Bob Slentz-Kesler of Author Magazine.
