Biography

A longterm proponent of all things percussive, Sam Debell has been active in China for over 10 years, playing with bands and collaborating with producers from all over the country. The name Renmin Rhythym originally described a percussion collective based in Yunnan, Southern China but has expanded through the years to encompass a spectrum of musical endeavours in styles ranging from Jazz, Funk, Rock and latin to Yunnan ethnic folk music and even instrument production. The only common thread linking all these is a fusing style steeped in Afro-based rhtythms and instruments, with the driving drum beats and percussive licks on which Debell's reputation has rightly come to be based. Having made appearances in 2007 on both the MIDI Festival and Snow Mountain festival stages with Shanren and Minjian funk respectively, Renmin Rhythm's latest incarnation in 2008 in a full eight piece funk/breaks band featued on this album.
