Tino Contreras

Mexico City, Mexico

Born in 1924 in Chihuahua, in Northwest Mexico, Contreras developed a fascination with
drums as a very young child, raised by his father who led the OK Jazz Band orchestra. Tino moved to Ciudad Juárez where he formed his own orchestra. Tino has shared stages with many great musicians, contributing to Contreras' hypnotic sound fuelled by a flawless rhythm section plus unyielding brass and bass.
