Edmar Castaneda Quartet

An unparalleled virtuoso on the harp, Latin Jazz Grammy nominee Edmar Castañeda blends jazz and folk music from his native Columbia and neighboring Venezuela, making his harp sound like a bass, guitar, piano or percussion instrument.

He expands the instrument’s classical boundaries with amazing technique while possessing a magnificent sense of swing. Downbeat calls his new record Viento Sur, “delightfully refreshing, soulful, original, acoustic music, propelled by Latin rhythms, ensemble panache and individual brilliance.”
