Few marimbists can move the listener as deeply as Moya does. He is a musician with an innate understanding of the emotional and narrative power of each note. With every strike of his incredibly agile mallets on each bar, he conveys a profound, instinctive perception of the voices and character of the marimba. Ultimately, his skill is not limited to impeccable technique, but extends to a deeper and more emotional understanding of the music.
