As a bandleader and recording artist he has released a series of critically acclaimed CDs featuring his distinctive composing and arranging and toured the world over with his various ensembles reflecting the wide sweep of his music. He also currently holds faculty positions at New York University and the North Netherlands Conservatory, as well as conducting clinics and workshops at prestigious institutions of learning all over the world.
On any given night, Satalla's 200-seats are filled with fans of African, Brazilian, Celtic, Arabic and dozens of other musical styles from around the globe. The audiences who gather at the cavernous Flatiron- district space come not only for world music, but to witness singer-songwriter, folk and blues performances as well, while enjoying a full kitchen serving American cuisine and a bar serving alcoholic cocktails as exotic as the club's musical ones.
