Rubén
Lanzieri began his percussion studies in the Rojas Cultural Centrum in
Buenos Aires (1995-98). There he started his rhythmic development based
on "Tres Golpes", a method devised by the teacher, drum player
and percussionist, Horacio López. One year later, he and some friends
created with a percussion orchestra of 25 members called "Batumbado"
(1996-98), and he performed with large ensembles directed by Horacio López
and Santiago Vazquez (Encuentro de Tambores de Bs. As. 1998, Terrestres
-with 60 percussionists- 1999).
The power of the drums combined with the immense cultural richness of Buenos Aires attracted him to the South American urban, popular and folkloric music. He played in "llamadas de candombe" (Black Uruguayan tradition) in Bs. As. and Uruguay, and formed "Candombe del Río" (1996-99), a "cuerda" (candombe drums group) with which he participated in different recordings and concerts (Raices, Beto Satragni 1999).
In 1999 he took bombo legüero lessons with Mercedes Sosa's drum player, Rubén Lobo, and studied afrolatinamerican rhythms with the Peruvian percussionist Hubert Reyes, who later on invited him to play cajon in his afro peruvian band "Negros de miercoles".As a result, he became deeply involved in the Argentinian folklore; the music of the black people from Perú, Bolivia, Venezuela and Colombia, and traditional music from the Andes.
In 1999, he formed Manzana de Tierra, combining his own style with the original rhythms he had learned. With this band he recorded "El fruto se nutre de sus origenes", and performed all around Argentina.
In 2000 he played bombo legüero in Cosquín, the most important Argentinian Festival, with Duo Copleros (1998-2000) and performed in Amaicha del Valle, with Miguel Guerra and Omar Flores.
Nowadays he is living in Europe. He plays Argentinian folklore in Almagato (Spain 2002-04) and percussion in Ay! Juana.
