His influences are mainly native music from North & sub-Saharan Africa, SE Asia, Cuba, the Philippines, Brazil, the Caribbean, North America, the Iberian peninsula, and the Middle East. Passionate about traditional music of indigenous world cultures as well as by contemporary music genres, he seeks ways in which the two maycoalesce organically. His skill sets have brought him to work in a musical capacity with several global institutions of art and culture such as the British Council, the Goethe Institute, the Alliance Francaise, Instituto Cervantes, and the Philippine National Commission for Culture & the Arts. Bo plays severalstringed and skinned (percussion) instruments from diverseglobal cultures and has performed in many settings and venues in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
