About Drummers Without Borders
“Artistically, we want to create without limits; musically, we don’t want to be attached to a specific tradition, style, form, or school; . . . and socially, we want to have the ability to collaborate with communities of all social and cultural backgrounds,” said Felix Diaz in a 2023 interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune.

Drummers Without Borders has performed extensively, including Centro Cultural Tijuana, La Jolla Music Society, and the San Diego Convention Center, in partnership with the Artemis Project for migrant girls from Central America. Drummer Without Borders comprises two generations of the Diaz family, including Felix and his sons Silvio and Abril.

In 2004, the collective of musicians, educators, and artists started a program introducing music to elementary school students with special needs. Through the universal language of rhythm, they created a space where every student, regardless of their background, could feel accomplished and engaged. Drummers Without Borders strives to develop projects focusing on music, education, community, health, and environment, transcending geographical boundaries to create a more inclusive world for future generations.
