The New Mexico Jazz Festival continues its summery musical reign with an all-ages performance by Columbian-born virtuoso jazz harpist Edmar Castaneda on Sunday, July 21 at 7pm at National Hispanic Cultural Center. The stringy recital—also part of NHCC's Domingos En Artes series—takes place at the fountain courtyard and no doubt includes some of the artist's own intricate compositions, as well as forays into the deep waters of Columbian and Venezuelan folk music. Castaneda makes the harp sound like a multi-instrument ensemble and his command of the instrument is the result of years of study with his father, Pavelid, an important South American harpist. His work with Latinx jazz luminarees like Paquito D'Rivera and Simón Diaz is marked by fluent beauty and compelling rhythmic choices. For a glimpse of this enchanting, entertaining musician ahead of his appearance in Burque, check out his NPR Tiny Desk concert from 2010; it totally glistens. Tickets cost $20/$15 ($5 discount for Outpost Members & NHCC Members).
