Videos of his artistic trayectory

 Here you can find videos of his work as a musician and artist of multiple capacities and interests. 

The next 3 videos show his graduation concert in the formation as percussionist in the year 2016 in the Theater of the Conservatorio de Castella.




This video was taken in the yearly schoolpresentation in the year 2008 in the Conservatorio of Castella.


This video is a summary made by Julio Melara with the recordings of the yearly schoolpresentation 2008.


This videos shows him performing with his Cello together with his mother in the Castella Theater in the year 2008.

This video was edited by Julio Melara with video of his performing with the Big Band of the Conservatory of Castella in his acreditation exam, 2014.

This performance of 2015 with the percussion ensamble in the Castella Theater used only Cookware!


This video wa taken in the year 2015 in Atlanta at a musiciansgathering that we were invited to as a familly. At the end of that gathering was a dinner with live jazz music. In the break for the jazzgroup Jonas set down to play the drums, and all the other musicians started to play with him.


We have found this timeline on his computer. Its the way he wanted to present himself to others and explain his life in a short way.

This song of Jacob Collier captured his admiration so much that he recorded many versions of it in his computer with his own voice and instruments, and made a transcription to be able to play it with the jazzgroup from EMAI. He had the opportunity to direct the group during 2 rehearsals for this arrangement. Its one of the few proyects on his computer that he has left completly finished. 

Mi se la. He loved this song when he was very small. Now we have found this beginning for his own cover of the song in his computer.


This song shows some of his covers of the song "Feier dein Leben" from Apollo 3 and pictures of him that make sequences. 

He left this video edited at his computer. And he left also a cover of the song he used. Now they are together on this video:


This video shows some of his important steps as a percussionist


This Video was recorded with the phone of a strager, because we (his mother and sistet) forgot to take our cellphones with us. We were at the Jayyfestival in San Jose in the year 2019, and the musician had announced that after the concert thez would open the stage for improvicing with them. When the concert finished the audience (most of them professional musicians) hold on the breath quietly... Knowone amnswered to the invitation to join them on the stage... Just Jonas Benjamin! He walkt to them and thez asked wich Jayystandart he would like to plaz with them. He answered: Caravan. And even if he was little unsure if it was a good choice, he took all his force and set down to plaz with them.
