Fiery, passionate Latin American music and song, performed by masters of their art.
From the rushing cascade of the Iguazú Falls on Argentine/Brazilian border to the festive arrival of El Tren Lechero (the Milk Train) at village doorsteps, the sounds and melodies of South America spring from the harp of Ramón Romero of Paraguay and his Cuerdas de Fuego “Strings of Fire” ensemble.
International touring artist and harp virtuoso Ramón Romero from Paraguay has performed on four continents for more than four decades. Romero is joined by expert percussionist Carlos Caro from Cuba performing on an array of Latin American instruments.
Concerts feature the distinct rhythms and lively melodies from Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Bolivia, and Paraguay, plus favorites from Central America and Cuba. Program selections include regional musical treasures such as the Guarania/Canción and Polka from Paraguay; the Samba, Chacarera, Chamame, and Tango from Argentina; the Cueca from Chile: the Bolero from Brazil: the Vals Venezolano and Joropo from Venezuela.
