Sound and Culture in lesson

On long journeys to Central and South America, Conny Sommer gained deep insights into Latin American culture: he embraced rhythm, playing and lifestyle. The graduated ethnomusicologist processes these experiences in his performances, seminars and workshops - and thus ensures the authentic sound.

Favorite Instruments

My "working horse", for workshops and all bread and butter jobs. Smooth in sound, not too peculiar, fits to every music, no matter if jazz or heavy metal.

Only for Flamenco and Latin I prefer the CP605 Fineline Comfort Morado.

The CP580 Super Agile Silver Lining stands for pure energy. I'm happy to use it when I'm in the studio and need a crisp, loud instrument for individual and outstanding sounds.

I rarely go on tour without my U60 Bass Udu ...

... and NEVER EVER without SK30 Shorty Shaker ...

… and SK50 Groovy Shaker.
