TLI Presents: Edmar Castaneda Quartet

Edmar Castañeda, harp 
Andrea Tierra, vocalist 
Shlomi Cohen, sax
Rodrigo Villalon, drums

Colombian-born Edmar Castañeda has made a name for himself as the preeminent jazz harp virtuoso. His playing brings forth a brilliance that beautifully merges the jazz tradition with a diverse set of styles and genres while also bringing unbridled attention to a somewhat unfamiliar instrument. Castañeda was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY Award for the album Family and, in fall 2021, was heard in Disney’s Encanto which features original songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Castañeda acts on the soundtrack and served as a music consultant on the film.
