3) Independent CD reviews:

"Edmar is.. an enormous talent, he has the versatility and the enchanting charisma of a musician who has taken his harp out of the shadow to become one of the most original musicians from the Big Apple."

- PAQUITO D'RIVERA.

"Edmar Castaneda’s short opening set took Diana Krall’s mellow crowd by surprise. Castaneda plays the arpa llanera, or Colombian harp, a diatonic instrument from which he snatches twanging, sweet, twittering, chiming, dense sonorities like nothing else in contemporary music. Castaneda’s trio with drummer David C. Silliman and trombonist Marshall Gilkes included the “resident artists” at Umbria Jazz, performed nine times, and were among the revelations of the festival."

THOMAS CONRAD -JAZZ TIMES ( AUG 7, 2006)

"The most amazing and well received new sensation for Panamanian jazz fans was Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda. "

THE PANAMA NEWS ( JAN 21, 2007)

“As illustrated in a fascnatingly percussive performance by the harpist Edmar Castaneda”
