Percussionist-composer Milo Tamez has been a leading voice in the advancement of creative drumming expression for decades in México. He adapts a wide background in percussive languages and artistic perspective to find his own place within the American Drumming paradigm. Tamez’s percussive thinking transcends the limits of linear rhythm thinking. Milo´s work is musicological.  He works as a practicing musical historian, tracing rhythm dialects through the cultural migrational paths that shaped their evolution.         

His solo works are an authentic historical review of  20th Century percussion music within a deep orientation to diasporic drumming intertwining diverse  forms ranging from free style drumming  to intricate timelines abundant in polymetric and microrhythmic compositional cadences.
