BIO NILS FISCHER
Nils Fischer is one of the top percussionists in Europe, touring and recording with Nueva Manteca, Cubop City Big Band, Drums United, with his own groups Timbazo and CaboCubaJazz as well as with many others. He has shared the stage with such legendary figures as Giovanni Hidalgo, Pío Leiva, Orestes Vilató, Armando Peraza, Paquito D'Rivera and Chocolate Armenteros.
He studied in Cuba, Brazil, Puerto Rico and at the Rotterdam Conservatory where he obtained his “Masters Degree Percussion” in 1996 cum laude. His most important teachers include Giovanni Hidalgo, Jerry Gonzalez, Orestes Vilató, Roberto Vizcaíno, Panga and Anthony Carillo.
Nils’ interest in music started at an early age, growing up in a musical family in Bremen, Germany. One of his earliest memories from childhood is his father practicing guitar before gigs at night. His own instrumental experience started when he began to attend piano lessons at the age of ten. He remembers: “One day my sister brought home a Paquito D’Rivera record with Daniel Ponce on congas - this changed my life, all I wanted from then on was to play percussion.” At that time, he would have never imagined that 20 years later he would find himself performing with Paquito in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Nils has appeared on more than 40 albums as a recording artist.
In 2007 he released a CD with his own group TIMBAZO. It is entitled ¡Gracias Joe Cuba! and serves as a tribute to veteran percussionist Joe Cuba. Top artists including Brian Lynch, Alain Pérez , José “Pepe” Espinosa and Alberto “Molote” Muñoz contributed to its making. The album – mixed by Jon Fausty - received rave reviews both at home and abroad (see reviews below). It was pre-nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards 2008 in four categories. TIMBAZO is nominated for the Mixed Magazine Worldmusic Award 2009.
In 2008, Nils founded the group CaboCubaJazz. “CaboCubaJazz melts two different cultures without any effort - sensational!” Volkskrant [national Dutch newspaper]
Nils currently teaches at the World Music Department of Codarts [Rotterdam Conservatory] and at the Pentaton Percussion School in Germany. He gave workshops in Finland and Austria.
In 1995 he received the award for “outstanding service to Jazz education” in Los Angeles.
Nils Fischer endorses Pearl Percussion and Regal Tip drumsticks.
