Cristina
Cabrera
 
Mexico

Cristina Cabrera, from Xalapa, Veracruz is known for her seamless melding of music from her region, from Mexico in general, and of classic Venezuelan and Paraguayan styles to create a style that is uniquely her own. Ms. Cabrera is justifiably acclaimed not only in Mexico – her country of birth – but well beyond its borders for her exuberant energy and the emotion that shapes her interpretations.

Ismael
Ledesma 
 
Paraguay

Ismael Ledesma is a prodigious composer and interpreter of the Paraguayan harp style, known for his poetic touch and expressive language, both in his own compositions and in the fusion he creates of distinct musical genres. Mr. Ledesma’s talents have been richly captured on various CDs.

Carlos
'Metralleta'
Orozco
 
Venezuela

Carlos ‘Metralleta’ Orozco, a native of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, is considered an originator of a new style within the 'llanera' music. A versatile musical ambassador of the Venezuelan harp, his agility and dexterity give themselves not only to the harp, but to many other instruments as well. He earned his nickname “Metralleta” during a festival in Colombia.
