Celebrating the beauty and versatility of the harp music of Colombia and Cymru, this extraordinarily vibrant and popular project returns to Wales following the ecstatic response to two sell-out shows in 2009 and Cimarron's triumphant set at WOMAD festival. From the cattle-rearing plains of rural Colombia on the Orinoco delta, Cimarron make wild, untamed joropo music that preserves the spirit of freedom found in one of the world's most untouched regions.
Rooted in a deep peasant tradition defined by the mestizo mixed heritage of African, Spanish and indigenous cultures and led by harpist and composer Carlos Rojas, harp, bandola, cuatro, maracas, bass and cajon hammer out rippling melodies and mesmerizing rhythms with jaw-dropping speed and passion. Since Catrin first met Cimarron in Caernarfon in 2007 to exchange traditional Welsh and Colombian tunes, their captivating musical chemistry has brought audiences across the country to their feet! Described as "The Queen of Harps", Catrin has delighted audiences with her performances in the UK and worldwide. Her versatility in different musical genres is demonstrated in her many recordings, which range from solo classical recitals and concertos, through to an eclectic cross-over mix and her own 14 piece band "CF47".
