Maico Jordan

A lifelong percussionist carrying African and Latin rhythms into stages, schools, and studios.

Maico was raised by two working artists and trained in performing arts schools. He performs, teaches, and produces, bringing the same drum traditions to a festival stage, a third-grade classroom, and a hip hop session.

His curriculum programs, The Drum Speaks and Hip Hop Culture, teach students the history and meaning behind the rhythms they play.
