Outstave

Is a group that makes music starting from their own body, elevating the body percussion to a very technical virtuosity.

Rhythms, movements, dances, choreographies all blend together into an exciting performance, unique in the world as unique as their repertoire.
Everything is designed to fascinate and capture the audience. Inspired by the primordial pulse which created the world, each rhythm born from the heartbeat, life’s origin.

Since their debut in 2010 with Ritmo Live Multhietnic Orchestra this group of talented and passionated percussionists decide to give life to a new project.
Outstave stands out on the national and international audience with great innovations derived from creating music from the body. Innovations as cultural as educational and sensorial, which lead the members to spread their art into schools, cultural foundations, events and far reaching shows, as well as collaborating with great artists and working for film and spot soundtracks.
