Welcome to MandaraMusic.com, the website of Percussionist Valerie Naranjo and multi-instrumentalist Barry Olsen, and their group Mandara, and Mandara Music Publishing.

“If you've ever had the split-second opportunity to spy Naranjo in action when SNL cuts to a commercial break, you've witnesses a blur of energy behind a fortress of percussion.” —Andy Doershuk, DRUM! Magazine, May 2005
