Celso Duarte

Celso Duarte began his studies of the harp and Latin-American music at a very early age with his father, the world-renowned Paraguayan harpist Celso Duarte González. Charismatic, talented and deeply profound, Celso Duarte has been recognized as a virtuoso of the harp by many international critics. His expertise extends mainly to the Paraguayan harp, Celtic harp, and Mexican Jarocha harp.   For this occasion, Celso Duarte will present the main exponent of the music of Veracruz - “the harp.” Since the 1950s when Son Jarocho erupted on the world scene, the harp has had an important role in bringing to audiences the most representative melodic sounds of this style of music, which originates from Veracruz and Mexico.
