Palco was conceived to connect musicians with music from around the world. We’re creating high quality music learning materials that double as tools for documenting musical traditions from around the world, one genre at a time, beginning with Latin American rhythms. We want to give you the immersive experience of being an apprentice, on location, interacting with local experts so you can play with professionals and learn from the masters.
