​

Oviedo’s career spans 38 years. In the mid 90s he moved to Sweden. His biography and history are too great to be contained in a single page. A complete bio is in his instructional percussion book,

“Beyond Slasa Percussion: Volumes 2-4”.

​

And here’s what his peers have said about him:

​

Among Cuban drummers, Calixto Oviedo is the most innovative musician.

.

Calixto Oviedo is the Elvin Jones of Cuban music.

.

Calixto Oviedo is for me one of the biggest musicians to come off the island of Cuba in recent years.

​

Calixto Oviedo is the sole creator of the latest grooves in poplar Cuban music, what we know as Timba, with the integration of timbales and drumset. Impeccable taste and technique, combined with his knowledge of AfroCuban rhythms, make Calixto a musician to follow.
