“Everything happens for a reason,” “it’s meant to be,” “it is what it is.” These cliches express an increasingly popular form of Stoic fatalism The underlying idea is that “Reality” just is a certain way This superficially tough realism comforts us by absolving us of responsibility: whatever happens was bound to happen It leads to resigned inaction in the face of geopolitical strife we must recognize that there is no higher being responsible for us: we must take responsibility for each other and the world we live in “Everything happens for a reason” is a popular salve for life’s nasty surprises and he dies mid-surgery at the age of five A plane combusts mid-air while flying over the Pacific Ocean Someone hacks into your bank account and withdraws your life savings A new virus wipes out 7 million people in the twenty-first century Two friends are diagnosed with cancer in less than two months Your beloved wife of twenty years files for divorce Trump is President of the United States of America You know how it goes: everything happens for a reason And when the cause of misfortune boils down to bad luck They hanker for more justificatory flesh to grip a deeper meaning or greater purpose behind the ordeal They want reassurance that something better will come along making the pain worth whatever valuable lesson it yields in the future The idea that every little thing is set in stone is a morally misguided philosophy Along with the religious flex “God has a plan for you,” the notion that all our suffering is predetermined etched in ink by the cosmos or by a supernatural Being and preparing us for something better to come is an answer all too easily embraced by many and give or take it’s a good one and it always ends well This mindset works to bring order to life’s chaos promising that despite all the signs signaling the opposite And the belief in a grand design to human existence can have real and good effects It can speed up the process of reconciling with our grief enabling us to pick up the pieces of the life we have left as the official permission to move on (whether this is a genuine road to recovery is case-by-case and harder to answer) Enjoy unlimited access to the world's leading thinkers Start by exploring our subscription options or joining our mailing list today.

LLANERA, Nueva Ecija (PIA) — The municipality of Llanera has inaugurated its new Alternative Learning System (ALS) Skills Training Center in Barangay Victoria. The project was implemented through the Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLGIF) received by the local government unit (LGU) for fiscal year 2023. Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Nueva Ecija Provincial Engineer Patrick Jerome Cipriano said the SGLGIF is an incentive given by the agency to support the priority projects of LGUs who passed the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG). The SGLG is a recognition given by the DILG to LGUs that demonstrate excellence, integrity, and effective governance while providing better public services. “The municipality of Llanera received P1.8 million from the SGLGIF allocated for the construction of the new ALS Skills Training Center,” he added. A total of P3.2 million was spent for the construction of the facility wherein additional funds came from the municipal government. The new ALS Skills Training Center has two 48-square meter classrooms on the ground floor, and a 182-square meter multi-purpose hall on the second floor. It will be used as a venue in capacitating out-of-school youth and other learners. The municipal government also aims to use the building to accommodate various events, such as seminars, meetings, and other special occasions. (CLJD/CCN, PIA 3-Nueva Ecija) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

As a duo, they perform a delightful synthesis of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music, employing instruments such as harp, banjo, Venezuelan cuatro and any others they see fit to include in their performances Their repertoire presents a unique combination of their respective musical heritages and traditions featuring Latin music classics like ‘Caballo Viejo’ and ‘Moliendo Café’ together with traditional material as well as originals their storytelling highlights the ways in which music and social movements intersect “Nuevo South Train” elegantly introduces the listener to a wide range of genres such as música llanera a Grammy-nominated bluegrass and old time musician Larry was compelled to flee his homeland and now finds himself seeking asylum in North Carolina where he supports himself through construction work spent a decade in South America but was unexpectedly stranded in his native region during the pandemic maracas; Charlie Hunter on guitar; Nelson Echandía on bass; and Brevan Hampden on percussion Buy the album on Amazon or Bandcamp Please enter an answer in digits:six + two = she has been alone and went to dance classes studied journalism and now she has gone to several countries many people know her and admire her very much," her daughter Marcela Hernández was one of many vulnerable children in Villavicencio "That's what they are expecting from me," Marcela recalls so she fought to pursue her dreams and paddle against the current Marcela learned she could overcome any stereotype and follow her dreams as a dancer She lived and worked in Villavicencio and Bogotá When her career as a dancer reached its peak to start a journey as dance professors of children and young people — she felt it was time to teach and share the values and knowledge that had helped her build her career They share the paths that each one carries attached like the breath that becomes increasingly silent like the smoke that rises vertically until a breeze twists it she increases her strength and shining in the distance The talents of the young dancers who make up the group grow the opportunities to be — and to be in Orocué — grow The Llanero and Sáliva groups live in Orocué has always lived the vast plains of the Orinoco in Colombia and Venezuela and a large part of their population lives in the savannas villages and hunting grounds of the municipality of Orocué located between eastern Colombia and southern Venezuela is the largest and most extensive river in the Colombian Orinoquia coming from the Andes Mountains to the Orinoco River Marcela said the dance has helped her students to find their passion and be more disciplined "Karen was one of the first to enter the academy; she changed a lot — she was very rebellious," Marcela says academically; she started to be more polite Now she is doing very well at school — the way her attitude shifted surprised me a lot." but the truth is that a person who does not know the outside world believes that it is normal for a girl to get pregnant at 12 or 13 years old it is normal to rape — that a 40- or 50-year-old guy takes a 12-year-old girl and rapes her — and you hear comments like there is a very deep deficiency: They are not taught values such as respect and self-respect That's why you see so many 11- or 12-year-old girls living with men or with boys their own age forming a family without even knowing what a family is or what the responsibility of having a child is." there is a girl who had to repeat ninth grade because the pandemic was more difficult because they became housewives so they were the ones who took care of their siblings A boy could be on the phone and get up at the time he wanted Very few parents are those who equally demand the same responsibilities for boys and girls "My students even say that I am something of a feminist because I demand the same from men and women — (because) I don't just look to the girls to organize and do the cleaning." she has always been used to the tough — the demands She had a hard time at school during the pandemic because she felt stuck "One thing that eased things out were the rehearsals because at least she saw her friends and danced three times a week What I really want is not to train the dancer in llanera culture who are more sensitive to the things of the world because I feel that there is a lot of insensitivity "I want to form empathetic human beings; let's put it this way: that dancing helps them to create certain habits "We were practicing a choreography when the pandemic hit so we were locked up and had to suspend classes we gathered in the courtyard and rehearsed "When people started to hear the noise of the zapateos they stopped here in front of the house and we kept quiet." nothing else was happening other than the dance shows — what was 2020 Orocué was completely dead to the International Joropo Tournament; then we went to Yopal It was a very gratifying trip and award after so much pandemic and isolation." Mariangel participated with other dancers and musicians in the Valledupar festival in March 2022 where she won first place for youth folkloric queen She reflects on the difficulties of the pandemic isolation for an artist in a rural community "One of the biggest problems was the study — it was too horrible because here is a town where the electricity was out all the time so we couldn't even enter the virtual classes Or the professors simply didn't give the class and sometimes we had to stay up all night doing some guides that I think that not even the professors reviewed because they were too long I realized that I could not see the board — I had damaged my eyesight from looking at the screen so much it's what I learned first and what I've been doing since I was 2 years old — not only joropo but other types of folkloric dance: cumbia "I also want to study anthropology or archeology "Many of the girls in the village have the idea — or they have been taught the idea — that they are only good for having husbands and children * This work was supported by the Magnum Foundation with a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation Photographs by Silvana Trevale Styling by Daniela Benaim This article first appeared in Atmos Volume 08: Rhythm with the headline “In Step.” Nature is an elaborate orchestra of interconnectedness, in which timing is everything.

THE BEST OF THE AMERICAN LATINO & MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE This young Venezuelan has become a trend on social media with his new album 'Evolución.' Giovanny Fernández is a 28 years old now, but since he was a 'chamo,' this budding Venezuelan star has dedicated his life to performing llanera.  In his hometown, he grew up to the sound of the maracas, cuatro, harp and bass. His dream was always to enter a music conservatory, however, he graduated as a lawyer in Barquisimeto and then moved to Caracas to fulfill his life destiny — to be a musician.  Gio, as he is artistically known, spoke with AL DIA News about his first studio album Evolución and the future of the popular music genre that has transformed over time. "An artist endures over time because he knows how to adapt to music trends and evolves with his audience," said the Venezuelan, who was the first llanero artist to enter La Ruta Live, a bus tour that visits 12 cities in Venezuela with more than 15,000 spectators per show.  It was thanks to this shift that Gio was encouraged to experiment with a fusion of genres, taking popular llanero music to a much more modern level with urban, ranchero and pop rhythms.  Evolución is an album full of emotions, dedicated to love, conquest and even heartbreak. In its first week, some songs reached 1 million views on YouTube, scoring a great success in this genre.  "This work was a way to allow people to feel the music through unpublished songs and other more commercial songs that they have heard in other singers," said the artist, who is known for performing his own versions of songs like "Adiós Amor" by Christian Nodal and "Yo no fui" by Pedro Fernandez.  The Venezuelan will continue to revolutionize the llanero genre not only through social media, but also with performances he hopes to take to other cities in Latin America and the United States, so that his audience can identify with the new global genre.  THE BEST OF THE AMERICAN MULTICULTURAL EXPERIENCE Virginia Otazo Venezuelan Homestead Nando Grill is a huge outdoor restaurant near Homestead.

think Olympic deities Modern humans take less seriously the idea that offering a sacrifice to Artemis can help you win a marathon that drinking a magic potion can protect you from demons or that dancing in an annual fertility festival will bring rain and babies debating about God’s existence over Thanksgiving makes for an uncomfortable conversation but it’s usually not life-threatening (whereas centuries ago the supernatural and the divine have lost most of their existential gravitas and have diminished relevance But being cut off from traditional sources of existential value or meaning also has the effect of redirecting our attention towards non-otherworldly sources and Kelly think these secular sources of meaning are oriented and activated by the power of the human will (or freedom) Centring our lives around an “anthropocentric” will has produced the social condition of modern nihilism who transformed nihilism into a threat to believers and atheists alike He treats nihilism as anthropocentric in its origins all-knowing God which has shaped Western culture Its metaphysics is dualistic: it pits a concept of the ideal against its flawed counterpart — for instance Nietzsche argued that monotheism promotes a “slave” or “herd” morality He portrayed these “good” values as the life-denying values of the cowardly employed to condemn the life-affirming values of the strong and the talented as “evil” and to blame them for the miserable condition of the world affirmed the weak and ordinary at the expense of human greatness “God is dead … And we have killed him.” The collapse of Western society’s deep structures of meaning created a profound crisis signalling the transformation of the entire moral-spiritual outlook of the West the consequence of human emancipation from monotheism Nietzsche outlines two responses to modern nihilism: passive or active The passive response means succumbing to existential vacuity Passivity can also become destructive; since the passive nihilist has nothing left to value or affirm should the nihilist choose not to kill himself is a sign of strength; this is the kind of nihilism Nietzsche himself claimed to have perfected The active nihilist recognises that in the face of old and debased values modern values have to be formulated to realise the needs of the modern man And this is where Nietzsche gets unnerving: in his view only persons of the “noble” and “higher” type will prosper since they can abide by an anti-Christian morality which includes in its ethical code the modernised values of strength and independence (the rest of us are sheep) The fabled Nietzschean Übermensch (Superman) will invoke their “will to power” to create new meanings and impose a new order to modernity This order valorises the supreme role of human freedom in the world and Kelly see Nietzsche’s anthropocentric response to nihilism as dangerous The view that there’s nothing more important than human freedom has negative consequences the modern cultural attitude that prizes the ability to objectify and instrumentalise the world to gratify our ever-increasing desires One bad consequence of this combination is that it restricts and impoverishes our access to other sources of existential meaning treats everything as instrumental to his will: religion and community are important only insofar as relations with them have utility and benefit Once they cease being useful or become uninteresting like broken toys or spoiled wine or junk email is rendered trivial and fungible to a man-god who puts his quest for self-determination above all else other people with their own wills-to-power become competition so we are left with a Nietzschean dystopia populated by neurotic power-hungry but ultimately isolated and embittered individuals Another terrible consequence of being free and Machiavellian about human relations is that you become entirely responsible for your own failure If you fail to become the next Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos then you can’t be in the Übermensch squad: you truly are ordinary and boring not having achieved anything of value or global recognition The burden to be great and extraordinary could be linked to our anxieties about modern life: to escape this burden #YOLO); to rebel against the burden to be exceptional It’s hard not to see this kind of life as unfulfilling or absurd So if man is nihilism’s instigator (for killing God) champion (for turning himself into a demi-god) and victim (for suffering its bad consequences) then it seems unlikely that we can save ourselves from ourselves liberation from the bad outcome of modern nihilism requires the participation of something other than the human: something mysterious They think of it as a non-human power traditionally articulated through religion It goes by many forms and descriptions (magical holy) and is attributed to different dimensions of reality (transcendent there are similar features to the sacred across cultures and generations Coming into contact or possession of something sacred or performing rituals that are considered sacred can have various phenomenological (felt) effects think of the comfort you get from praying the rosary or burning bukhoor incense think of the sensation of being grounded in the present moment after chanting OM post-yoga or while brooding over gemstones and crystals think of finding yourself emboldened by wearing a red shirt before a gruelling game These experiences can be said to fall into the non-rational and anti-scientific way of approaching the world why should the colour of your jersey have any bearing on your chances of winning or the roundness of fruits on the dinner table have any say about the fate of our lot next year the copiousness of these lucky charms and mundane superstitions suggests to Dreyfus and Kelly that there’s more going on beneath the surface of these cultural practices They remind us that we are part of a larger one full of meaning and purpose we can’t fully decipher These sacred experiences leave us with existential wonder and a deep sense of connection with life and our respective traditions and communities But they are in relation to the moral sources they symbolise and illuminate Becoming animated by the sacred can deeply transform who we are and the way the world looks to us and a Greek temple at Paestum as the kind of artwork that illuminates “life-worlds” serving as our sacred exemplars for focusing and preserving our human practices Heidegger thinks the sacred takes on many forms and expressions throughout history and that there are certain exceptional people — the chosen prophets of Being: artists naturally — with the skill to convey the sacred in our modern culture “something so overpowering happens that it wells up before you as a palpable presence and carries you along as on a powerful wave” we need to be receptive to the sacred and to participate when it is at play and Kelly share the idea that to overcome nihilism – a nihilism caused by our anthropocentrism – we need to revamp our relationship with sacred sources of meaning Human beings need the sacred to help curb that part of us which seems intent on destroying itself But the strategy of modernising the sacred against nihilism is a step backward the idea behind overcoming nihilism panders to a misplaced fear of it Nihilism has been given a bad theoretical and historical rap The initial opposition to it was opposition to reason itself to trying to understand our situation and using that understanding to improve it with the science and technology that made major improvements to life (clean water nihilism became associated with “levelling” a grinding down to the level of the “herd” because some saw the demise of the meaning of life as a cue to make a dodgy evaluation of whether life’s worth living or whether collective suicide might be a better idea where the lives of peasants and aristocrats flowed in accordance to the mysterious meaning they could sense probably isn’t something we should model our future on — even if there was any chance of reclaiming its rosy essence the strategy cages us inside the “overcoming” framework that both religious believers and atheists could benefit from escaping the problem of meaninglessness is a constant danger we need to struggle against This position blinds us from seeing the possibility that nihilism is something that our culture can take for granted as the natural stance for atheists and a tolerable and understandable belief for the religious (we think that it can be) and Kelly are responding to problems they perceive in modern life They also identify the source as anthropocentrism then why not focus on correcting the cause so that we can prevent the effects There is an answer that, we argue, can reframe the concern about nihilism. It is inspired by the American pragmatist philosopher, Richard Rorty “tell [Nietzsche’s] Zarathustra that the news that God is dead is not all that big a deal” we need to outgrow the idea that nihilism is a problem to overcome Rorty appears unlikely to advance a philosophical conversation about modernity and the sacred It might even seem strange to bring him up a philosopher whose frame of reference is social utility he is resolutely anti-metaphysical and eschews talk of the transcendent He’s mostly suspicious of religion and has poked fun at its more outrageous claims While he’s been pejoratively called a nihilist by his critics (and there are many) he neither characterises himself as one nor talks about nihilism in his work But a closer look at his work shows that it can change the terms of the ongoing conversation about nihilism and the sacred Rather than focus on modern existential anxieties and spiritual rigidity of people in terms of thinking and behaviour He suspects that egotism is an expression of the satiating comfort behind the promise of certainty the philosophical interpretation of them as closed systems of knowledge — final answers about which there is nothing more to be said which derive their authority from the universal and the non-human prevents us from fully embracing a humanistic world according to Rorty His work on self-creation and solidarity can be mobilised as ideals to fight against the culture of egotism allows us to outgrow the idea that nihilism is a problem who insists that all non-Christians will go to hell or a chauvinist uncle who thinks women are naturally weak or that really obnoxious “facts” guy from work who views religion as complete BS They are self-centred not so much in being selfish but in being self-satisfied with who they are and what they believe in They are condescending to those who aren’t like them since they think of themselves as redeemed from ignorance and consider the rest of us unenlightened mild forms of egotism are likely to be recognizable in people you know from privileged homophobic parents to racist landlords and its normality is precisely what concerns Rorty and simple ambition (think of the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann who aloofly claimed he was just following orders) Egotism is like cruelty and banal evil: it’s so mundane that we treat it more as annoying behaviour than a serious moral fault egotists can be good to their mothers and dogs But their disinterest and refusal to understand what it’s like to be other people and to cooperate with projects whose aims don’t fit into their rigid belief systems make them undesirable and potentially dangerous people Rorty had many ideas for what was at the root of this and often looks like a philosopher who blames philosophy itself but nevertheless closed-mindedness seems to be what most concerned him because they think they already know the truth and aren’t prepared to question their beliefs Not a rational one they’re ready to adjust in response to considerations they hadn’t considered before but rather one that purports to be universal the final word about how things really are; in other words the system functions as a grand design or a blueprint to the life of an egotist You might say that it’s their take on the meaning of life Their faith in this closed system gives egotists the confidence to make all sorts of dogmatic claims and issue moral judgments with bravado. No wonder Rorty thinks that many religious believers and philosophers are susceptible to egotism since they obsess about being right all the time: They would like to go straight to the way things are (to the will of God or the nature of human beings) without passing through other people’s self-descriptions Religion and philosophy have often served as shields for fanaticism and intolerance because they suggest that this sort of short-circuiting has been accomplished militates against egotists who would rather be redeemed from impiety (if religious) or irrationality (if philosophical or scientistic) egotism is a culturally entrenched disposition for which we need to find a remedy is being faithful to something which was produced in collaboration with a lot of other people.” and learns from the experiences of other people She knows that the more imaginative resources she has the greater her chances of being able to weave an idiosyncratic life narrative the self-creator is the opposite of the egotist whose life is self-enclosed rather than ever-growing is the loyalty shared by a community of individuals with common beliefs The existence of different loyalties is often a source of conflict our task is to expand our conception of loyalty The solidarity that does this kind of loyalty-expanding work is democratic solidarity with its highest goal being to promote freer The more we consider other people as part of our kin the better we recognise and respect their rights to pursue their versions of happiness and projects of self-creation since we see them as part of our moral circle we are also inspired to make sure that our social and political institutions protect the rights and interests of all Oscar Wilde’s dictum “socialism for the sake of individualism” is a nice way of summing up the point (the point being that we become freer because of other people — it’s hard to be yourself when you live in such an unequal society that you’re in constant danger of crime Self-creation and solidarity combat egotism by focusing our moral energy toward becoming more other-orientated; to opening our minds to what others have to say and attaining more sensitivity to reason They divert our attention from ourselves to others When egotists invest everything in their own Nietzschean will to power backed up by their closed system of belief when things go wrong they lose the claim to privilege and become susceptible to existential angst egotism produces the symptoms that are misdiagnosed as resulting from nihilism The formula is pretty simple: address the cause (egotism) to nullify or prevent the bad effects from taking place (existential despair) and Kelly recognise that the negative phenomena which concern them are produced by anthropocentrism gone haywire but it is really only a certain kind of anthropocentrism — namely closed-minded egotism rooted in the complete self-assuredness that Nietzsche thought the Supermen would use to overcome nihilism and make the world meaningful again we have a chance of warding off disillusionment If self-enlargement were fostered as a moral ideal and the latent negative effects lying in its wake with a single blow Rorty’s methods of self-creation and solidarity are up for critical debate unhinging us from the “overcoming nihilism” framework that has held sway for far too long from which this article is an edited extract You can hear Tracy Llanera discuss the ethics of nihilism with Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens this week on The Minefield. ethical discussion & philosophical discovery Colombian harpist Edmar Castañeda has challenged the conventions of both South American joropo and New York jazz *Read a transcript of AQ‘s interview with Edmar Castañeda below but two accomplishments that most musicians only dream of The 33-year-old Colombian harpist has introduced international audiences to a distinctly South American musical style—joropo—and he has broken new ground in jazz Castañeda is first and foremost a performer of joropo also known as música llanera for the plains (llanos) on which it was originally played Joropo resembles the waltz and combines Iberian music from the 17th and 18th centuries with African and Indigenous rhythms native to the Orinoco basin He is also a New York jazz musician who plays the harp—an unconventional instrument in a genre traditionally defined by the piano his mother enrolled him and his sister in a dance institute His father also taught him to play the harp and the cuatro guitar But Castañeda’s musical pursuits would have ended there if not for another family member “My aunt had a harp at home and I always went to her place and begged her to let me play it,” he recalls “I was attracted to it because it’s very similar to llanera music,” he says “They don’t sound the same but in both genres you improvise.” Castañeda cites Chick Corea and Charlie Parker as his major influences but he likes to listen to a variety of musicians While playing harp solos at a restaurant—a gig he got to make money while studying music at Five Towns College in Dix Hills New York—Castañeda practiced and experimented with different sounds and techniques he created what he considers his signature style—playing the melody and bass simultaneously “With my left hand I play the bass and the groove and with my right hand I play the melody and harmony,” he explains “If you close your eyes you can hear two or three instruments playing at the same time.” Edmar began attending improvisational jam sessions a renowned Puerto Rican tres guitar player and once offered to sit in during a performance thinking the harp was too big for the stage and would be out of place in a descarga he has even designed his own harp—complete with an engraved “EC Llanera” logo—which is produced and sold by the French company Camac Harps Castañeda’s albums are a mélange of genres instruments and cultures that draw upon the diverse work of individuals he has met in the U.S.—including his wife Andrea a paisa (a native of Antioquia province in northwest Colombia) whom he married one month after they met at a musical tertulia session in Queens was inspired by the colors in Andrea’s bedroom It combines typical joropo sounds—evoking the galloping pace of a runaway horse—the essential beats of flamenco and mambo and the harmonious disorder of jazz Cuarto was followed by Entre Cuerdas (2009) which explores interactions between the trombone and on which Andrea—a poet and daughter of traditional Colombian troubadours (troveros)—sings over the instruments a piano player from Cuba; Hamilton de Holanda a Brazilian mandolin player; and Miguel Zenón Though he says joropo is at the root of everything he does he calls the mix of instruments and players on Double Portion “the perfect seasoning for my Colombian plate.” AQ Interview: Colombian Harpist Edmar Castañeda Interview by Lina Salazar (Redacted transcript) I started learning to dance the joropo with my sister That’s where I was first introduced to the harp and fell in love with it and an educator—he taught me to play the cuatro guitar and I never had the opportunity to have a harp—until I was 13 My dad came two years before—he was separated from my mom since I was little—and then he brought my sister and me here so we could have better opportunities It was in New York that I first heard jazz I was attracted to it because it’s very similar to llanera music; they don’t sound the same but in both genres you improvise I received my Bachelors degree in music from Five Towns College EC: Some of my influences are Chick Corea and Charlie Parker But I always listen to different musicians such as Astor Piazzolla EC:  I graduated from college as a trumpet performer but I never stopped playing the harp; instead I translated what I learned in the trumpet to the harp I wanted to get the feeling of playing with a big band so I started attending jam sessions—descargas There was a place called Nell’s that I used to go to a lot I asked him if I could sit in with his band and play and when did you decide to combine joropo and jazz looking for different elements to complement my harp and jazz background And joropo is at the root of everything I do—even if I play salsa and that’s how the original trio started six years ago I recorded my first album Cuarto de Colores which was inspired by my wife’s colored bedroom One of my best experiences was playing in Poland is a solo album.  I play both the Colombian harp and the classical harp I have a couple of special guests—Gonzalo Rubalcaba It’s a mix of Latin American musicians—the perfect sazón for my Colombian plate AQ: Your wife sings in your most recent album When did you meet her and how did she end up working with you EC: I met my wife at a jam session in Queens—a sort of tertulia we got married; I just knew she was the one We’ve been married for seven years and have two kids She’s from Medellín—her family members are troveros We combined her poetry and talent with my ideas Working with her is the most amazing thing I love it because we share very special moments Her voice is very powerful—you can hear her passion AQ: What has been most difficult in your musical career I had a gig every day at a restaurant playing solo harp so I had to learn to play the different kinds of music that people wanted to hear.  That’s how I created my style of playing the bass with the harp: I play the bass and groove with my left hand and play the melody and harmonies with my right…If you close your eyes it sounds like 2 or 3 instruments playing at the same time Is there a message that you try to communicate in your music EC: God and my family are my inspiration; it’s a gift from God to be able to play the harp I believe that music can change lives and I pray that through those strings people get in touch with the love of God I believe that when you obey and follow God he always gives you a “double portion” of blessings…that’s why my album is called Double Portion AQ: Do you feel connected to your Colombian identity when you play Everywhere I go I invite people to visit our country The times I’ve visited Colombia with the band the musicians have fallen in love with the country and the country has fallen in love with our music I’ve played in Colombia four or five times—in different cities such as Villavicencio Currently I’m writing a symphony piece for orchestra and harp using llanera music I’m also planning to record an album with a big band—and I’m getting married by church with my wife Lina Salazar Ortegón works on technical cooperation, communications, outreach and partnerships, and knowledge with the Opportunities for the Majority sector at the Inter-American Development Bank.
