Having mastered the diatonic Venezuelan harp, Carlos Guedes came from Caracas, Venezuela to the USA with the goal of becoming a jazz harpist.

His music offers a powerful live act combining a unique blend of contemporary Latin jazz with Afro-Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms. The Carlos Guedes group presents his original compositions backed up by a drummer and a percussionist. The Bass player is his left hand on the harp.
