Jordy is an Uruguayan saxophonist who plays mostly smooth jazz music. Born in Las Piedras, Canelones in 1976, Jordy began playing saxophone as a youth in order to play in his high school's jazz band. He continued to play the instrument throughout his formative years, including in Canelones Municipal Orchestra. After study a few years in Barcelona, Spain Jordy decided to become a professional musician. 'Del Plata' is the perfect mix between Smooth Jazz and Candombe rhythm. Candombe is a drum-based musical style of Uruguay. This rhythm developed in the Rio de la Plata area -- Buenos Aires and particularly in Montevideo -- among the black slaves brought by the Spanish colony in the 18th Century. Candombe is based on Bantu African drumming and other influences the African community received from the new environment they lived in. In Uruguayan culture this drum-based musical style is highly significant and extremely popular, going strong on the streets, halls and carnivals all over the country. Candombe is a polyrhythmic three-part-drums-ensemble formed by the three tambores called chico, repique and piano, and the music composed on the basis of this rhythm encompasses a range of styles like funk, jazz, rock and tango, among others.
