Colombian-born harpist Edmar Castañeda has quite literally taken New York and the world stage by storm with the sheer force of his virtuosic command of the harp—revolutionizing the way audiences and critics alike consider an instrument commonly relegated to the “unusual category.” A master at realizing beautiful complexities of time, while skillfully drawing out lush colors and dynamic spirit, The legendary Paquito D’Rivera, Edmar’s frequent collaborator, has remarked: Edmar is…an enormous talent, he has the versatility and the enchanting charisma of a musician who has taken his harp out of the shadow to become one of the most original musicians from the Big Apple.
