Music: Harp from Latin America


April 09, 2010


Captivating and Ethereal Latin Rhythms!

Martha Mazzoleni, born in Montevideo, Uruguay started harp lessons at age four. By age nine she was a pupil of master harpist, Venicio Godoy from Paraguay. In her career, Martha has performed at leading theatres in Montevideo and made appearances on radio and TV. She also represented the Paraguayan and Chilean embassies. In Canada, Martha has performed at many festivals and events, and also at the Lula Lounge.

Join by The Martha Mazzoleni Ensemble, the evening's repertoire includes music from Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina and other Latin American countries. For this performance, we are pleased to have as special guest: vocalist Adis Rodriguez from Cienfuegos, Cuba.

The Paraguayan harp is the national instrument of Paraguay, and similar instruments are used elsewhere in South America. It is a diatonic harp with 32, 36, 38 or 40 strings. Made from tropical wood with an exaggerated neck arch, it is played with the fingernails.
