About me
Upon arriving in the United States in 1994, Colombian-born Edmar Castañeda has made a name for himself as the preeminent jazz harp virtuoso. Castañeda brings forth a brilliance that beautifully merges the jazz tradition with a diverse set of styles and genres while bringing unbridled attention to a somewhat unfamiliar instrument: the harp. Singlehandedly, Castañeda has cemented the harp's place in jazz with innovative technique and heartfelt creativity from a wealth of formidable collaborations with music titans such as Sting, Wynton Marsalis, Bela Fleck, Ricki Lee Jones, Marcus Miller and Paquito D'Rivera.
In the same breath as the Yo-Yo Ma's of the world, Castañeda fearlessly stuns audiences, musicians, and critics alike with his incredible talents as a player and composer.
