Hamptons JazzFest presents the Edmar Castañeda Quartet at LTV Studios in Wainscott — a performance that combines jazz improvisation with the sounds and rhythmic traditions of the Colombian harp.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia and based in New York, Castañeda is known for adapting the Colombian harp to jazz and improvised music settings. His work blends jazz, Latin American music, and folkloric tradition, drawing on rhythmic complexity, extended techniques, and inventive improvisation.
Over the course of his career, Castañeda has performed at major concert halls, festivals, and jazz venues worldwide, working with artists from across jazz and world music. His performances are recognized for combining technical mastery with genuine musical spontaneity.
