Fernando Toussaint

Fernando Toussaint is a Mexican drummer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for his dynamic fusion of jazz, rock, and Latin rhythms. A key figure in Mexico’s alternative music scene since the 1990s, he gained early recognition as the drummer for the influential progressive rock band Santa Sabina. Over the years, Toussaint has carved out a prolific solo career, blending intricate jazz improvisation with gritty rock energy and Latin textures, as heard in recent releases like *Aguamala*, *Santa Teresa*, and the live-recorded *13:20 en vivo*. His work often feels both introspective and electrifying, anchored by his technical prowess and genre-defying curiosity.

Beyond solo projects, Toussaint remains a sought-after collaborator and live performer, effortlessly shifting between intimate jazz clubs and festival stages. Albums like *Playa del Carmen* and *U.T.S.* showcase his knack for crafting immersive soundscapes that nod to his roots while pushing boundaries. Whether in studio recordings or raw live settings (like *En Vivo*), his music invites listeners into a world where rhythm takes center stage—no surprise coming from a artist who’s spent decades redefining what drums can say.
