ArtistShare welcomes the amazing Colombian harpist Edmar Castaneda.  We are currently developing his first ArtistShare project which is slated to launch at the end of this month.  Here is what Ben Ratliff from the NYTimes has to say about Edmar.

Edmar Castañeda is a virtuoso, and a modern jazz musician in that he collects different musical languages of the New World and melts them together, fusing them with swing and improvisation. But he also does the same thing with instrumental approaches: he borrows the technique and sound of several other instruments and applies them to his own, which is a harp. He can turn a harp into a bass, a guitar, a piano and a hand drum. Of course, that's not meant literally, but it's not meant metaphorically either.
