KULT-U-REAL / P..S..3
“The North American drummer Marque Gilmore beat the drum as if it were doomsday...he is flanked by a djembe master from Senegal Bambo Cissokho, and a Norwegian organist André Viervoll... And good it is! Their hard rock fusion jazz world music goes under the project title KULT-U-REAL & P..S..3. It becomes something of a music anthropological study,
and that is nothing short of a cultural achievement; Stallet goes UN."
- Rikard Rehnbergh, Orkester Journalen 2013
MARQUE GILMORE
"If one thinks of the word "multi-talented", it means Marque Gilmore. A bold versatile drummer/percussionist from Cambridge, Massachusetts. He offers experiments, creativity and virtuosity with large amounts of his own projects and constellations.
Besides producing his own music projects and others with his music partners,
he creates workshops and learning opportunities for young musicians."
