EDMAR CASTANEDA TRIO & ANDREA TIERRA

Star harpist Edmar Castaneda, who played with Paquito d’Riviera, Wynton Marsalis and John Scofield, keeps his Colombian instrument in the foreground in a spectacular way. He left the audience in an exalted state after his last performance at the Bimhuis. ‘Producing cross-rhythms like a drummer, smashing chordal flourishes like a flamenco guitarist and collating bebop and Colombian music, he is practically a world unto himself’ (New York Times). Guest singer Andrea Tierra blends Latin American rhythms with jazz and poetry.
